RESUMEN
Since the enhancement of the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) is limited around the Brewster's angle, the scientific problem of how to extend the range of incident angles and to keep them unidirectional for the enhanced PSHE remains open. Here, we propose an effective method to achieve the ultrawide angle and unidirectional enhancement of PSHE via the omnidirectional Brewster's effect in a tilted uniaxial crystal. By properly setting the permittivity and the optical axial angle of the uniaxial crystal, the omnidirectional Brewster's effect can be obtained to realize an ultrawide angle enhancement of the PSHE. Then, by appropriately deviating the optical axial angle, the ultrawide enhancement of the PSHE can be achieved within the maximum incident angle range of 60° with unchanged direction. These findings inspire an unprecedented route to facilitate the applications in precision measurement and spin-dependent devices.
RESUMEN
The pulsed 1.7â µm vortex beams (VBs) has significant research prospects in the fields of imaging and material processing. We experimentally demonstrate the generation of sub-200 fs pulsed VBs at 1.7â µm based on a home-made mode-selective coupler (MSC). Through dispersion management technology in a thulium-doped fiber laser, the stable linearly polarized VBs pulse directly emitting from the cavity is measured to be 186 fs with central wavelength of 1721.2â nm. By controlling the linear superposition of LP11 modes, cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) can also be obtained. In addition, a variety of bound states pulsed VBs at 1.7â µm can also be observed. Our finding provides an effective way to generate ultrashort pulsed VBs and CVBs at 1.7â µm waveband.
