Abstract
The Hermite-Gauss mode (HGM) has received great attention due to its interesting properties and extensive applications. In this Letter, we propose a comprehensive theory of the enhanced photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) for high order HGM under p- or s-polarization near Brewster's angle (BA) on a generic conducting sheet. This BA rises from the destructive interference induced by the surface current on such sheet. The transverse PSHE shift can be tailored by altering the order of HGM and sheet conductivity. Besides, we design a PSHE enabled flexible polarization sensor with tunable sensitivity. It can detect the real or imaginary part of the sheet conductivity with a sensitivity of over 105λ/S. This work provides useful insight and promising application of the PSHE for high order HGM.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
