Spin-dependent Klein tunneling in polariton graphene with photonic spin-orbit interaction (1509.04009v1)
Published 14 Sep 2015 in cond-mat.mes-hall and cond-mat.other
Abstract: We study Klein tunneling in polariton graphene. We show that the photonic spin-orbit coupling associated with the energy splitting between TE and TM photonic modes can be described as an emergent gauge field. It suppresses the Klein tunnelling in small energy range close to the Dirac points. Thanks to polariton spin-anisotropic interactions, polarized optical pumping allows to create potential barriers acting on a single polariton spin. We show that the resulting spin-dependent Klein tunneling can be used to create a perfectly transmitting polarization rotator operating at microscopic scale.
