Variation of polarization distribution of reflected beam caused by spin separation
arXiv:1207.0613 · doi:10.1364/OE.20.001975
Abstract
The variation of polarization distribution of reflected beam at specular interface and far field caused by spin separation has been studied. Due to the diffraction effect, we find a distinct difference of light polarization at the two regions. The variation of polarization distribution of reflected light provides a new method to measure the spin separation displacement caused by Spin Hall Effect of light.
