Universal spin-momentum locking of evanescent waves

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show the existence of an inherent handedness (spin) of evanescent-electromagnetic-waves which is fundamentally locked to the direction of propagation (momentum). It is universal and accompanies evanescent waves in total internal reflection, waveguides/fibers and surface-states.
