Authors: M. Abbas, Y. Wang, F. Wang, P. Zhang, H.R. Hamedi
Journal: Optics Communications (2025)
Summary:
This paper reports the realization of a double-frequency photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) using a tripod atomic configuration. By carefully designing the atomic energy levels and their coupling with external fields, the authors demonstrate that two distinct frequency components of the PSHE can be produced and controlled. This study offers new avenues for developing advanced photonic spintronic devices with enhanced frequency diversity and control.
