Principle for spinning light and the Optical Hall effect
نویسنده
چکیده
Mimicking the description of spinning particles in General Relativity, the Fermat Principle is extended to spinning photons. Linearization of the resulting Papapetrou-Souriau type equations yields the semiclassical model used recently to derive the “Optical Hall Effect”. The shift of the planes of the incident and refracted (resp. reflected) light found by Onoda, Murakami and Nagaosa is recovered from calculating the classical scattering.

متن کاملGeometrical spinoptics & symplectic geometry
The object of this talk is to illustrate the usefulness of symplectic geometry in understanding new features of geometrical optics for spinning light in refractive media, e.g., the subtle transverse shift of light beams across an interface, which has been coined the Spin Hall Effect of Light [1]. We reformulate Fermat’s principle to describe spinning light rays in Riemannian three-manifolds, (M...
متن کاملVibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Spinning Cylindrical Shells Using Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory
In this paper the vibration of a spinning cylindrical shell made of functional graded material is investigated. After a brief introduction of FG materials, by employing higher order theory for shell deformation, constitutive relationships are derived. Next, governing differential equation of spinning cylindrical shell is obtained through utilizing energy method and Hamilton’s principle. Making ...
متن کاملGeometrical Spinoptics and the Optical Hall Effect
Geometrical optics is extended so as to provide a model for spinning light rays via the coadjoint orbits of the Euclidean group characterized by color and spin. This leads to a theory of “geometrical spinoptics” in refractive media. Symplectic scattering yields generalized Snell-Descartes laws that include the recently discovered optical Hall effect.
