Spin Hall effect of light in metallic reflection

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report the first measurement of the spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) on an air–metal interface. The SHEL is a polarization-dependent out-of-plane shift on the reflected beam. For the case of metallic reflection with a linearly polarized incident light, both the spatial and angular variants of the shift are observed and are maximum for 45°/45° polarization, but zero for pure s and p polarization. For an incoming beam with circular polarization states however, only the spatial out-of-plane shift is present.
