Dynamics of the Optical Spin Hall Effect
arXiv:1708.08433 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.96.075309
Abstract
We study the time evolution of the Optical Spin Hall Effect (OSHE), which occurs when exciton-polaritons undergo resonant Rayleigh scattering. The resulting spin pattern in momentum space is quantified by calculating the degree of circular polarization of the momentum space image for each point in time. We find the degree of circular polarization performing oscillations, which can be described within the framework of the pseudospin model by Kavokin et al. (Ref. 1).
