Chiral nanophotonic waveguide interface based on spin-orbit interaction of light
Open accessAbstract
Controlling the flow of light with nanoparticles: Light propagating through optic fibers could provide the ultimate in information flow, but controlling the direction of flow is a key requirement. Petersen et al. show that the directional flow of light in a fiber can be controlled by placing a single gold nanoparticle on or near the surface of the fiber. By exploiting the chiral properties of light (the spin-orbit interaction), the authors demonstrate that the “handedness” or polarization state of the light hitting the particle determines in which direction the light flows in the fiber.

The Berry connection and Berry curvature immediately appear in all intrinsic SOI phenomena, such as the spin-Hall effect.
“Therefore, the Berry connection and Berry curvature immediately appear in all intrinsic SOI phenomena, such as the spin-Hall effect.”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [60]
The introduction (p. 1) identifies the spin-Hall effect as a phenomenon associated with spin-orbit coupling. But the passages in our copy do not discuss Berry connection or Berry curvature, so they do not support the claim that these appear in all intrinsic spin-orbit-interaction phenomena. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTwo fundamental concepts underpin the SOI of light: optical angular momentum and geometric (Berry) phases for light.
“Two important fundamental concepts underpin the SOI of light: optical angular momentum 57- 59 and geometric (Berry) phases for light 60- 62 .”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [60]
The introduction (p. 1) says that spin and orbital angular momentum of guided light become coupled, supporting the optical-angular-momentum part of the claim. Our copy does not describe geometric (Berry) phases as a concept underpinning spin–orbit interaction; a geometric phase appears only in a cited reference title (p. 5). (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredGeometric phases in optics originate from the coupling between intrinsic angular momentum and rotations of coordinates.
“Geometric phases in optics originate from the coupling between intrinsic angular momentum and rotations of coordinates .”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [60]
The discussion on p. 1 describes coupling between photon spin and orbital angular momentum in confined waveguides, but does not explain the origin of geometric phases. A reference title on p. 5 mentions a geometric phase; searches for geometric phases and coordinate rotations found no passage in this paper making the claimed connection. (LLM, conf=0.75)

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.
