▎ 摘  要

Photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) holds great potential applications for manipulating photon spins. However, the efficient control of PSHE in a particular optical structure is still difficult to realize. In this paper, we report enhanced and magnetically tunable PSHE of reflected light in one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PC) with a defect layer. By inserting monolayer graphene into the defect layer of 1D-PC, large polarization rotation and strong photon spin-orbit interaction of reflected light are obtained. Due to the optical field confinement by defect mode, the Kerr rotation angle of reflected light is near 90 degrees and the spin-dependent splitting is about 15 times the wavelength at a specific incident wavelength. In addition, a static perpendicular magnetic field increasing from 1T to 11T shows greatly modulation effect on Kerr rotation angle and spin-dependent splitting. These results pave the way toward the design of spin-based photonic devices in the future. (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
