Magnetic spin-orbit interaction of light steers Bloch surface waves
Abstract
We show the directional excitation of Bloch surface waves controlled by the magnetic field of light. The phenomenon in play is the first magnetic spin-orbit interaction of light. It opens new degrees of freedom in the... [ view full abstract ]
