Weak measurements of a large spin angular splitting of light beam on reflection at Brewster angle
arXiv:1205.2253 · doi:10.1364/OE.20.016003
Abstract
We reveal a large spin angular splitting of light beam on reflection at the Brewster angle both theoretically and experimentally. A simple weak measurements system manifesting itself for the built-in post-selection technique is proposed to explore this angular splitting. Remarkably, the directions of the spin accumulations can be switched by adjusting the initial handedness of polarization.
