The propagation of electrons in an orbital multiplet dispersing on a lattice can support anomalous transport phenomena deriving from an orbitally induced Berry curvature. In striking contrast to the related situation in graphene, we find that anomalous transport for an L = 1 multiplet on the primitive 2D triangular lattice is activated by easily implemented on site and optically tunable potentials. Further, we demonstrate this for dynamics in a Bloch band where point degeneracies carrying opposite winding numbers are generically offset in energy, allowing both an anomalous charge Hall conductance with the sign selected by off-resonance coupling to circularly polarized light and a related anomalous orbital Hall conductance activated by layer buckling.
