Abstract
The photonic spin Hall effect (SHE) in the reflection and refraction at an interface is very weak because of the weak spin-orbit interaction. Here, we report the observation of a giant photonic SHE in a dielectric-based metamaterial. The metamaterial is structured to create a coordinate-dependent, geometric Pancharatnam–Berry phase that results in an SHE with a spin-dependent splitting in momentum space. It is unlike the SHE that occurs in real space in the reflection and refraction at an interface, which results from the momentum-dependent gradient of the geometric Rytov–Vladimirskii–Berry phase. We theorize a unified description of the photonic SHE based on the two types of geometric phase gradient, and we experimentally measure the giant spin-dependent shift of the beam centroid produced by the metamaterial at a visible wavelength. Our results suggest that the structured metamaterial offers a potential method of manipulating spin-polarized photons and the orbital angular momentum of light and thus enables applications in spin-controlled nanophotonics.

Introduction
Metamaterials or metasurfaces are artificial materials that are engineered to produce nearly any imaginable optical properties that are not found in nature.1,2 They are typically structured at the subwavelength scale with ultrathin metallic or dielectric micro/nanoparticles or with holes opened in metallic films. Metamaterials exhibit unprecedented degrees of freedom in the polarization and phase manipulation of light via the geometric structuring of their structural units, especially on the wavelength scale,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 which leads to applications such as vortex beam generators,3,7 metalenses10,11 and optical holography.12,13 These materials also offer considerable potential for the manipulation of the angular moment of light and the photonic spin Hall effect (SHE), thereby providing convenient opportunities for spin-polarized photonics and nanophotonics.14,15,16,17
The photonic SHE describes the mutual influence of the photon spin (polarization) and the trajectory (orbital angular momentum) of light-beam propagation, i.e., the spin-orbit interaction (SOI), which results in two types of geometric phases: the Rytov–Vladimirskii–Berry (RVB) phase and the Pancharatnam–Berry (PB) phase.18,19,20,21,22 The RVB phase is associated with the evolution of the propagation direction of light. When a light beam reflects/refracts at a planar interface between different media, a SOI occurs, and the corresponding momentum-dependent RVB phase leads to a spin-dependent real-space (coordinate) shift, i.e., the photonic SHE.19,22,23 However, this SOI is generally very weak, and the induced spin-dependent shift is also exceedingly tiny (subwavelength scale), with few exceptions.24 The detection of this tiny shift requires weak measurement technology or multiple reflections.20,22 Thus, controlling and, in particular, enhancing the SHE are important for directly exploiting the spin and the orbital angular momentum of light for information processing, quantum computing and communication, and it thus provides a route to spin-controlled photonics.15,16,17 If one employs the rapidly varying dynamic phase discontinuities produced by metallic plasmonic antennas at the medium interface, it is possible to observe an enhanced SOI and a giant photonic SHE.16
Moreover, a photonic SHE related to another geometric phase, the PB phase, has also been reported.14,17,25 The PB phase is related to a change in the polarization of light. In certain inhomogeneous anisotropic media, a spatially varying PB phase has been produced to generate and manipulate vortex beams, vector beams, vector vortex beams, etc.26,27,28,29,30,31 In this work, we theorize a unified description of the photonic SHE caused by the two types of geometric phases. It is predicted that the spin-dependent shift induced by the PB phase gradient can be very large because it occurs in k (momentum) space. Upon beam propagation, the k-space shift induces a real-space shift that may be much larger than that produced by the RVB phase. To verify this prediction, a dielectric-based metamaterial at a visible wavelength is structured to create a PB phase gradient in one dimension, which leads to the observation of a giant photonic SHE. Note that a polarization-dependent beam splitting and focusing effect in subwavelength diffraction gratings associated with the PB phase has been reported previously, but it was limited to the infrared spectral domain.32,33 Recently, ultrathin gratings, lenses and axicons in the optical range have also been realized by means of dielectric gradient metasurfaces.34 They are fabricated by patterning a semiconductor film with the desired nanostructures, and their operational mechanism is attributed to polarization diffraction. In fact, they can be well described by the theory presented here.
Materials and methods
Unified description of the photonic SHE based on the geometric phase gradient
Let us first provide a brief review of the photonic SHE associated with the RVB phase occurring in the reflection and refraction of a light beam at an interface between different media and propose a unified description for the two types of photonic SHE based on the geometric phase gradient. Because of the change in the beam propagation direction, the angular spectral components of the beam with different wave vectors acquire different RVB phases,20,22 thus creating a geometric phase gradient along the interface. This phase gradient manifests as a spin-dependent shift Δr=rx+ry in real space. It can be described by the following expression:
where ΦG(kx,ky) is the geometric RVB phase. It is a function of the transverse wave vector of the light. Assume that z is the normal direction and that (x,z) is the plane of incidence. Thus, kx and ky are the in-plane (incidence plane) and out-of-plane wave vectors, respectively. The kx-dependent RVB phase is responsible for the in-plane spin separation,35,36 whereas the ky-dependent RVB phase will result in a spin-dependent shift perpendicular to the incidence plane, i.e., the SHE of the light.18,19,22
Here, we are interested only in the SHE, that is, we consider ΦG to be dependent only on ky. For typical interfacial reflection and refraction, the RVB phase can be given as22,37
with σ+=+1 and σ−=−1 indicating left- and right-handed circular polarizations, respectively. δ∝cotθi/k0 is related to the optical parameters (thickness, refractive indices, etc.) of the interface, with θi being the incident angle and k0=2π/λ being the vacuum wave vector.22,37 The photonic SHE can be tuned by modulating the optical parameters of the interface.37 In turn, the SHE also provides an advantageous metrology for measuring the optical parameters of nanostructures such as metallic films and graphene.38,39 Note that Equation (2) also indicates the SOI between the spin σ± and the transverse momentum ky of the beam.
Now, we can calculate the spin-dependent shift of the beam centroid as the gradient of ΦG(kx,ky):
where êx (êy) is the unit vector in the x (y) direction. In this case, Δry is a constant with a magnitude equal to δ, which is a small quantity limited by a fraction of λ.
We then generalize this discussion to the geometric PB phase. The PB phase is related to the change in the polarization of light. Typically, when a light beam normally passes through a birefringent waveplate, an additional phase that is dependent only on the optical axis direction of the waveplate is introduced, i.e., the PB phase.40 It is expected that the light beam will acquire a space-variant PB phase when propagating through an inhomogeneous anisotropic medium with homogeneous phase retardation, such as an inhomogeneous subwavelength grating, a liquid crystal q-plate, or a plasmonic metasurface.26,27,28 The PB phase can be written as ΦG(x,y) =-2σ±α(x,y), where α(x,y) is the local optical axis direction of the anisotropic medium. The factor −2 arises because the anisotropic medium reverses the handedness of the circular polarization and applies an additional geometric phase factor 2σ±α(x,y) to the output light. The Jones matrix transformation of this process, irrespective of loss, is expressed as
where ψ is the phase retardation of the medium. The above equation indicates that a fraction sin2(ψ/2) of the incident photons reverse their handedness and that the remaining photon fraction cos2(ψ/2) remains unchanged. Thus, ψ determines the conversion efficiency. For ψ=π, i.e., a half-wave phase retardation, all photons reverse their handedness (see the schematic illustrations in Figure 1).
The coordinate-dependent PB phase creates a geometric phase gradient along the medium surface,
This shift occurs in k space. Here, for simplicity, we design a structured anisotropic metamaterial with homogeneous phase retardation such that its optical axis direction is periodically varying in one dimension, e.g., α(x,y)=Ωx, where Ω=π/d is the spatial rotational rate of the optical axis, with d being the period.
For circularly polarized light passing through the metamaterial, its handedness reverses and acquires an additional spatially varying phase, i.e., the PB phase. This is graphically illustrated by the Poincaré sphere, where light evolves into light from the north (south) pole to the south (north) pole along different paths (Figure 1c and 1d). In this case, the inhomogeneous PB phase creates a phase gradient, and the spin-dependent momentum shift occurs only in the x direction, i.e.,
In fact, it is an angular shift, and the induced real-space shift increases linearly during beam propagation. According to the mapping relationship between momentum space and real space (Figure 2d), we find that
Hence, from the observed Δx, we can directly obtain Δk.
Fabrication of the metamaterial sample
To demonstrate the PB phase and the induced spin-dependent splitting, we designed an inhomogeneous metamaterial with a periodically varying optical axis orientation in one dimension. When a light beam passes through this metamaterial, a PB phase gradient that is dependent upon the spatial rotational rate Ω of the local optical axis is created. By suitably engineering Ω, we can obtain a metamaterial with either a positive or negative PB phase gradient. Such a metamaterial can be fabricated via the femtosecond laser writing of spatially varying nano-grooves in a fused silica sample. The laser beam is focused 200 μm below the surface of the glass sample.41 Under intense laser irradiation, the uniform glass (SiO2) decomposes into porous glass (SiO2(1−x)+xO2), whose refractive index depends upon the laser intensity.42 Thus, a periodic change in the intensity can lead to a modulation of the refractive index, i.e., can generate grating-like nanostructures, and result in the formation of birefringence in the isotropic glass sample. The local optical axis directions (fast and slow axes) are perpendicular and parallel to the grooves, respectively.43 Because the characteristic dimension of the structure is much smaller than the operational wavelength, the fabricated metamaterial can be regarded as a birefringent waveplate with homogeneous phase retardation and a locally varying optical axis direction. The phase retardation is ψ=2π(ne-no)h/λ, where h is the writing depth and ne-no is the induced birefringence. As a linear approximation, the effective ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices can be written as43
Here, f is the duty cycle, and n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two media that form the grating-like structure of the metamaterial. We entrusted the sample fabrication to Altechna Co. Ltd. The fabrication method is described in Refs. 41 and 43. Two metamaterials with Ω=±π/20 rad μm−1 were prepared. The dimension of each sample is 6 mm×6 mm. At a wavelength of 633 nm, the writing depth is approximately 80 μm, the line width is 30–50 nm, the duty cycle is 0.1–0.2, the writing period is 250–300 nm and the value of ne-no is estimated to be −(2–4)×103. Figure 2b presents a photograph of the metamaterial. One period of the metamaterial is depicted in Figure 2c.
Results and discussion
Experimental demonstration of the PB phase gradient and the spin-dependent splitting in momentum space
The experimental apparatus is depicted in Figure 2. An He–Ne laser (wavelength λ=633 nm) outputs a linearly polarized fundamental-mode Gaussian beam. A Glan laser polarizer and a quarter-wave plate are employed to modify the polarization state. Then, the laser beam passes through the structured metamaterial, and the output intensity is recorded by a CCD camera. Because the Δk-induced shift increases linearly with the transmission distance z, we experimentally measure the shifts at different observation planes far from the metamaterial and plot them in Figure 3. We designed the metamaterial with a period of d=20 μm; therefore, the rotational rate is Ω=π/20 rad μm−1. According to Equation (7), the k-induced shift upon transmission can be calculated as Δx=−σ±0.03165z. This agrees well with the measured results. We also designed another metamaterial with precisely the opposite rotational rate (Ω=−π/20 rad μm−1) with respect to the previous one; in this case, of course, the direction of the spin accumulation is reversed.
We record the output intensity at a distance of 10 cm away from the metamaterial for a linearly polarized incident beam, as shown in Figure 4. The intensity profile exhibits three spots. The central spot retains the same linear polarization as that of the incident beam, with an intensity much lower than those of the other two spots. This spot represents the unconverted portion of the incident photons (Equation (4)). This means that the metamaterial does not produce exact π retardation. The phase retardation depends upon the thickness of the metamaterial; however, the real thickness of the sample exhibits a slight deviation from the desired value. The left and right spots represent the σ+ and σ− components, respectively, which can be discriminated by measuring the Stokes parameter S3 because the S3 parameter can be used to describe the degree of circular polarization. Note that for Ω=-π/20 rad μm−1, the direction of the spin accumulation is simply reversed.
When an elliptically polarized light beam passes through the metamaterial, it is expected that a non-symmetric spin-dependent splitting of the light will be observed. Because an elliptically polarized light beam can be regarded as a superposition of two circular polarizations with unequal magnitudes, the spin-dependent splitting manifests as an asymmetric intensity splitting. The two spin components still exhibit the same shifts because the PB phase is dependent only on the spatial rotational rate of the metamaterial. We choose several typical ellipticities of the incident polarization and plot the experimental results in Figure 5. Note that the central spot represents the unconverted portion of the incident beam.
Transmission and conversion efficiency of the metamaterial sample
The transmittance of the metamaterial sample at a wavelength of 633 nm is measured using a laser power meter. Let us consider the metamaterial with Ω=π/20 rad μm−1. The transmittance is approximately 50.1%. This is the average value from four sets of data measured at four different locations on the metamaterial. The energy losses are attributed to microscopic inhomogeneities and induced defect absorption, which may be reduced by optimizing the fabrication process.41
The conversion efficiency is also measured. It is dependent on the phase retardation of the metamaterial. For a writing depth of h=λ/2(ne-no), the phase retardation ψ is equal to π. From Equation (4), we know that the theoretical conversion efficiency of the metamaterial is 100%. It can be estimated from Figure 4a that the actual conversion efficiency approaches this ideal value. We also implement several sets of experiments to evaluate the conversion efficiency, which is found to be approximately 96.3% for the metamaterial with Ω=π/20 rad μm−1. For the metamaterial with Ω=−π/20 rad μm−1, the measured conversion efficiency is approximately 75.5% which deviates considerably from the theoretical prediction. This deviation can be attributed to a lack of precision in the writing depth or the birefringence. Note that the losses are not considered when evaluating the conversion efficiency from the measured data.
Discussion
In our scenario, the PB phase gradient induces a constant momentum shift, i.e., a spin-dependent angular deflection. The observable quantity is the real-space shift that is induced by the momentum shift during beam propagation, which increases linearly with the propagation distance z. A larger rotation rate of the metamaterial leads to a more rapid increase in the induced shift. A negative rotation rate will reverse the direction of spin accumulation. The rotation rate can be tuned by modulating the structural geometry of the metamaterial. The photonic SHE that occurs in the interfacial reflection and refraction exhibits a constant beam shift during beam propagation, which is limited to a fraction of the wavelength.19,22,23,24 The detection of such a tiny shift in the visible range requires weak measurement technology. By contrast, the spin-dependent shift induced by the metamaterial here is sufficiently large to allow for direct measurement. Therefore, such a structured metamaterial offers an additional degree of freedom for the manipulation of the photonic SHE, especially in the effort to obtain a giant photonic SHE.
We also note that in some subwavelength diffraction gratings, a polarization-dependent beam splitting and focusing effect has been observed.32,33 The possibility of realizing ultrathin gratings, lenses, and axicons using dielectric gradient metasurfaces has also been demonstrated.34 The operational mechanism of these materials is attributed to the polarization diffraction effect; however, it can also be well described by the theory presented here.
Conclusions
From the perspective of a geometric phase gradient, we proposed, to our knowledge, the first unified description of the photonic SHEs related to the two types of geometric phase gradients. Dielectric metamaterials were fabricated to experimentally demonstrate the PB phase gradient and to allow for the observation of a giant photonic SHE in momentum space at a visible wavelength, originating from the locally varying optical axis direction of the metamaterial. Unlike the tiny real-space shift induced by the RVB phase gradient, the shift induced by the PB phase gradient of the metamaterial occurs in momentum space and is sufficiently large to be observed directly. This approach may bridge the gap between spin-based photonics and nanophotonics and thus provide an opportunity for manipulating the spin and orbital angular momentum of light.
