Electromagnetic Spin-Orbit Interactions via Scattering of Subwavelength Apertures
Open accessAbstract
Circularly polarized electric fields incident on subwavelength apertures produce near-field phase singularities with phase vorticity +/-1 depending on the polarization handedness. These near-field phase singularities combine with those associated with orbital angular momentum and result in polarization-dependent transmission. We produce arbitrary phase vorticity in the longitudinal component of scattered electric fields by varying the incident beam and aperture configuration.

Properly designing anisotropic and inhomogeneous structures allows considerable enhancement of SOI effects and highly efficient spin-dependent shaping and control of light.
“Moreover, properly designing anisotropic and inhomogeneous structures (e.g., metasurfaces or liquid crystals) allows considerable enhancement of the SOI effects and highly efficient spindependent shaping and control of light 37- 45 .”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [43]
The conclusion (p. 4) reports polarization-dependent transmission through subwavelength apertures, with a difference that can exceed 50%, and says the findings inform metamaterial design. The paper also demonstrates control of scattered-field phase vorticity through aperture arrangements (pp. 1, 4). It does not establish highly efficient spin-dependent light shaping in anisotropic or inhomogeneous structures generally, or in the cited examples of metasurfaces and liquid crystals.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPeriodic crystal-like structures with breaking spatial inversion symmetry result in spin-dependent spectra of photonic quasi-particles.
“while periodic crystal-like structures with breaking spatialinversion symmetry result in spin-dependent spectra of photonic quasi-particles 43- 45,124 .”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [43]
The conclusion (p. 4) reports polarization-dependent scattering through round and square subwavelength apertures. It does not establish that periodic, inversion-symmetry-breaking crystal-like structures produce spin-dependent spectra of photonic quasiparticles; searches for those terms returned passages about aperture scattering instead.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
