Abstract
We show that a momentum-space meron spin texture for electromagnetic fields in free space can be generated by controlling the interaction of light with a photonic crystal slab having a nonzero Berry curvature. Our work highlights the opportunities of using photonic structures for the exploration of topological spin textures.
