Paraxial spin transport using the Dirac-like paraxial wave equation

M. Mehrafarin, H. Balajani

英文摘要:

In weakly inhomogeneous media, Maxwell equations assume a Dirac-like form that is particularly apt for the study of paraxial propagation. Using this form, and via the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation technique of the Dirac equation, we study the spin transport of paraxial light beams in weakly inhomogeneous media. We derive the Berry effect terms and establish the spin Hall effect and the Rytov rotation law for polarized paraxial beam transport.
