Abstract: The experimental phenomenon-the helicity inversion of laser (photons) during reflection has been explained based on the quantum theory of the laser (photons) propagation through an optical helix. It is found that the instant process of the laser(photons) reflection on a mirror will produce an extremely high rotation frequency of the wave vector. The coriolis coupling between the spin of the photon and the rotation of the wave vector is the dynamical factor which dominates the process and causes helicity inversion. The implication of the helicity inversion in information theory is also discussed.
