摘要
从理论上和实验上研究了转换反射中光自旋霍尔效应的自旋堆积方向的方法,建立了描述光束在空气棱镜界面反射的自旋堆积模型,揭示了横移与光束入射偏振角的定性关系。研究发现,当入射角小于布儒斯特角时,随着入射偏振角的逐渐增大,自旋堆积的方向发生反转。而当入射角大于布儒斯特角时,自旋堆积的方向不再随入射偏振角的变化而反转。结果表明,在光束入射角为确定值且小于布儒斯特角的情况下,可以通过调控光束的入射偏振角转换自旋堆积的方向。转换自旋堆积方向的研究为有效调控光自旋霍尔效应提供了新的途径。
Abstract
The method on switching the direction of spin accumulation of spin Hall effect of light in reflection is studied theoretically and experimentally. A model describing spin accumulation of reflected light at the interface between air and prism is established. And the qualitative relation between traverse shift and the polarization angle of incident beam is revealed. The direction of spin accumulation will reverse with the increase of the polarization angle of incident light on condition that the incident angle is fixed and less than Brewster angle. But the direction of spin accumulation won′t flip with polarization angle if the incident angle is bigger than Brewster angle. The results show that the direction of spin accumulation can be switched by adjusting the polarization angle of incident light while the incident angle is fixed and less than Brewster angle. The study about the direction of spin accumulation provides a new pathway for modulating the spin Hall effect of light.
