Weak measurements of a large spin angular splitting of light beam on reflection at Brewster angle

Optics 2015-06-05 v2

Abstract

We reveal a large spin angular splitting of light beam on reflection at the Brewster angle both theoretically and experimentally. A simple weak measurements system manifesting itself for the built-in post-selection technique is proposed to explore this angular splitting. Remarkably, the directions of the spin accumulations can be switched by adjusting the initial handedness of polarization.
