We present a study of the effect of angular momentum transfer between polarized photons and topological surface states of the insulating topological insulator Bi2Te2Se using circular dichroism-angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The photoelectron dichroism demonstrate a dramatic sign flip with the change of photon frequency and we show that this is a consequence of a strong coupling between the photon field and the spin-orbit nature of the initial Dirac states on the surface. Our studies reveal the intrinsic dichroic behavior of topological surface states and point toward the potential utility of bulk insulating topological insulators in opto-spintronics device applications.
