Spin Hall effect of light beam in anisotropic metamaterials

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/12/124201

Abstract We theoretically investigate a switchable spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) in reflection for three specific dispersion relations at an air-anisotropic metamaterial interface. The displacements of horizontal and vertical polarization components vary with the incident angle at different dispersion relations. The transverse displacements can be obtained with the relevant metamaterial whose refractive index can be arbitrarily tailed. The results of the SHEL in the metamaterial provide a new way for manipulating the transverse displacements of a specific polarization component.

Keywords: spin Hall effect of light metamaterials horizontal polarization vertical polarization
