Hall effect of light is a result of symmetry breaking in spin and/or orbital angular momentum (OAM) possessing optical system and is caused by e.g. refractive index gradient/interface between media or focusing of a spatially asymmetrical beam, similar to the electric field breaking the symmetry in spin Hall effect for electrons. The angular momentum (AM) conservation law in the ensuing asymmetric system dictates redistribution of spin and orbital angular momentum, and is manifested in spin-orbit, orbit-orbit, and orbit-spin conversions and reorganization, i.e. spin-orbit and orbit-orbit interaction. This AM restructuring in turn requires shifts of the barycenter of the electric field of light. In the present study we show, both analytically and by numerical simulation, how different electric field components are displaced upon tight focusing of an asymmetric light beam having OAM and spin. The relation between field components shifts and the AM components shifts/redistribution is presented too. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the spin-orbit Hall effect of light upon tight focusing in free space. This is achieved using azopolymers as a media detecting longitudinal or z component of the electrical field of light. These findings elucidate the Hall effect of light and may broaden the spectrum of its applications.

Optical skyrmion serves as a crucial interface between optics and topology. Recently, it has attracted great interest in linear optics. Here, we theoretically introduce a framework for the all-optical generation and control of free-space optical skyrmions in extreme ultraviolet regions via high harmonic generation (HHG). We show that by employing full Poincaré beams, the created extreme ultraviolet fields manifest as skyrmionic structures in Stokes vector fields, whose skyrmion number is relevant to harmonic orders. We reveal that the generation of the skyrmionics structure is attributed to spatial-resolved spin constraint of HHG. Through qualifying the geometrical parameters of full Poincaré beams, the topological texture of extreme ultraviolet fields can be completely manipulated, generating the Bloch-type, Néel-type, anti-type, and higher-order skyrmions. We promote the investigation of topological optics in optical highly nonlinear processes, with potential applications toward ultrafast spintronics with structured light fields.

通过实验测量，研究了HgCdTe反型层中自旋轨道耦合、塞曼效应及界面粗糙涨落效应。采用理论模型对不同温度及不同平行磁场下的反弱局域效应进行分析，结果表明，在平行磁场中，界面粗糙涨落效应与塞曼效应均会对HgCdTe反型层的反弱局域效应产生抑制作用。其中，界面粗糙涨落效应表现为产生一个二维电子气法向的弱局域效应，对样品施加平行磁场会首先抑制界面粗糙涨落效应导致的法向弱局域效应，然后才以塞曼效应继续抑制反弱局域效应。通过对参数τ/τ?与mr*g3*的分析表明，塞曼效应对反弱局域效应的抑制与温度无关。
