Photonic spin Hall effect using hybrid Tamm plasmon polariton
Here, we report a photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE), i.e., splitting of opposite spin in a transverse direction using a multi-layered metallo-dielectric heterostructure by hybridization of a Tamm plasmon polariton and a surface plasmon polariton. The underlying mechanism of PSHE is also explained usi...

Zusammenfassung: | Here, we report a photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE), i.e., splitting of opposite spin in a transverse direction using a multi-layered metallo-dielectric heterostructure by hybridization of a Tamm plasmon polariton and a surface plasmon polariton. The underlying mechanism of PSHE is also explained using the concept of superposition of normal and abnormal modes in the circular-polarization basis. It is revealed that the spin-dependent transverse shift for the proposed hybrid structure is enormously high owing to the transverse shift of ∼18 μm. The PSHE is found to be strongly dependent on the number of bi-layers of the structure and the analyte refractive index, which provides an additional degree of freedom for tailoring the device performance. Therefore, this study opens a pathway for developing next-generation photonic spin Hall devices in the fields of spin photonics, optical sensing, and optical communications. |
