A novel spin polarization separation of reflected light is observed, when a linearly polarized Gaussian beam impinges on an air-glass interface at Brewster angle. In the far-field zone, spins of photons are oppositely polarized in two…
We study the direction- and wavelength-dependent polarization anisotropy in light scattering at the air-photonic crystal interface as a function of angle of incidence for TE and TM polarized light. This is done using optical reflectivity…
We show how careful control of the incident polarization of a light beam close to the Brewster angle gives a giant transverse spatial shift on reflection. This resolves the long-standing puzzle of why such beam shifts transverse to the…

We investigate mode conversion of $\mathrm{TEM}_{00}$ Gaussian beams upon transmission through planar dielectric interfaces. We show that the angle-dependent Fresnel coefficients act as a spatial filter, inevitably generating higher-order…
Generalized Brewster angle (GBA) is the incidence angle at which polarization by reflection for p- and s-polarized light takes place. Realizing s-polarization Brewster effect requires a material with magnetic response which is challenging…
The Brewster angle is a well-known phenomenon that describes the angle dependent reflection minimum resulting from the difference in the refractive index between two media for p-polarized light. From multipole decomposition, we show this…
