Abstract

We report the first measurement of the spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) on an air-metal interface. The SHEL is a polarization-dependent out-of-plane shift on the reflected beam. For the case of metallic reflection with a linearly polarized incident light, both the spatial and angular variants of the shift are observed and are maximum for -45°/45° polarization, but zero for pure s and p polarization. For an incoming beam with circular polarization states however, only the spatial out-of-plane shift is present.

  • A similar interaction between the IOAM and EOAM occurs for vortex beams in inhomogeneous media, causing l-dependent transverse shifts at medium inhomogeneities (orbital-Hall effect).

    “A quite similar interaction between the IOAM and EOAM (vortex and trajectory) occurs for vortex beams in inhomogeneous media 18,64,90- 95 . In this case, beams experience  -dependent transverse shifts at the medium inhomogeneities.”

    From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [94]

    The paper’s discussion on p. 1 concerns polarization-dependent transverse shifts of Gaussian beams reflected at an interface, not vortex beams. Searches for intrinsic and extrinsic orbital angular momentum, inhomogeneous media, and l-dependent shifts found no passage addressing the claimed orbital-Hall effect. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
