24219. Slit in a metal film Subwavelength in one direction “Infinite” in the other
Chimento, Kuzmin, Bosman, et al. (2011). Opt. Expr. 19 (24),
24219. Almost ideal metal TM TE Slit width in λ

24219. Real metal If designed carefully, there is a point where the slit is a quarter-wave plate Analyzer rotation Input state Measured output

disappear to?
Cylindrical symmetry means no angular momentum is transferred to the

Fascinating! What does the far field look like?
Far field Angle Angle Intensity (arb. units)
Far field Angle Angle Intensity (arb. units) No hole in
the middle!
Far field Component with the same handedness as the input
(σ+) Component with opposite handedness to the input (σ−)
Phase of central spot Component with the same handedness as

We found, constructed, and understood a novel spin-to-orbit angular momentum
coupling device.
