Magnetic Field Control of the Optical Spin Hall Effect
arXiv:1305.2037 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.88.035311
Abstract
We investigate theoretically the effect of an external magnetic field on polarization patterns appearing in quantum microcavities due to the optical spin Hall effect (OSHE). We show that increase of the magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the cavity resulting in the increase of the Zeeman splitting leads to the transition from azimuthal separation of polarizations to their radial separation. This effect can be straightforwardly detected experimentally.
