Measurement of spin Hall effect of reflected light
Abstract
We have measured the spin-dependent nanometer-sized displacements of the spin Hall effect of the reflected light from a planar air-glass interface. In the case of the vertical polarization, the displacement is found to increase with the incident angle and subsequently decrease after approximately 48 deg, while in the case of the horizontal polarization, it changes rapidly near the Brewster angle. For a fixed incident angle of 30 deg, the displacement decreases to zero as the polarization angle approaches approximately 39 deg from 0 deg (the horizontal polarization) and then increases in the opposite direction until 90 deg (the vertical polarization).

For nonparaxial beams, the simple association of SAM and IOAM with polarization and vortex is not valid; the SAM and IOAM become (3), and the total intrinsic AM is preserved, so part of the SAM is transferred to the IOAM (spin-to-orbital AM conversion).
“For nonparaxial beams, consisting of circularly-polarized plane waves with the wavevectors forming a cone with an opening angle θ (like in Fig. B2b), the SAM and IOAM become 8,27,96- 98”

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.
