Abstract

We study theoretically and verify experimentally the detailed dynamics of spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion for a circularly polarized Gaussian beam propagating along the optical axis of a uniaxial crystal. We extend the results to the case of white-light beams when each of the spectral components undergoes its own wavelength-dependent angular momentum conversion process.

  • Coupling transversely-propagating spinning light to evanescent tails of surface or waveguide modes results in robust spin-controlled unidirectional propagation of those modes.

    “(iv) Any surface or waveguide mode possesses evanescent tails. Strikingly, coupling transversely-propagating spinning light to these evanescent tails results in a robust spincontrolled unidirectional propagation of the surface or waveguide modes 45- 52 .”

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.
