Spin-Orbit Interactions of Light: Fundamentals and Emergent Applications

Abstract

We present a comprehensive review of recent developments in Spin Orbit Interactions (SOIs) of light in photonic materials. In particular, we highlight progress on detection of Spin Hall Effect (SHE) of light in hyperbolic metamaterials and metasurfaces. Moreover, we outline some fascinating future directions for emergent applications of SOIs of light in photonic devices of the upcoming generation.
