Spatial differential operation and edge detection based on the geometric spin Hall effect of light

Abstract

Unlike the conventional spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) originating from the light-matter interaction, the spin-dependent splitting in the geometric SHEL is purely a geometric effect and independent from the properties of matter. Here it is shown that the geometric SHEL is not only of fundamental theoretical interest in understanding the spin-orbit interaction of light, but also sheds light on important technological applications. This Letter describes the theoretical foundation and experimental realization of optical differential operation and one-dimensional edge detection based on the geometric SHEL.
