Goos-Hänchen shift and photonic spin Hall effect in semi-Dirac material heterostructures

We investigate the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) and the Goos-Hänchen shift (GH shift) in semi-Dirac materials. Through theoretical modeling, we demonstrate that the anisotropic dielectric function in semi-Dirac materials play a critical role in determining the magnitude and polarity of these optical displacements. Further more, by utilizing the unidirectional drift of massless Dirac electrons in Semi-Dirac materials, we systematically reveal how the drift velocity and direction modulate the behavior of optical displacements. The results indicate that semi-Dirac materials provide a versatile platform for controlling spin-dependent photonic phenomena with their material anisotropy and carrier transport. This work opens a new avenue for designing advanced photonic devices with tunable optical responses, particularly with significant application potential in quantum information processing and topological photonics.

Abstract

We investigate the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) and the Goos-Hänchen shift (GH shift) in semi-Dirac materials. Through theoretical modeling, we demonstrate that the anisotropic dielectric function in semi-Dirac materials play a critical role in determining the magnitude and polarity of these optical displacements. Further more, by utilizing the unidirectional drift of massless Dirac electrons in Semi-Dirac materials, we systematically reveal how the drift velocity and direction modulate the behavior of optical displacements. The results indicate that semi-Dirac materials provide a versatile platform for controlling spin-dependent photonic phenomena with their material anisotropy and carrier transport. This work opens a new avenue for designing advanced photonic devices with tunable optical responses, particularly with significant application potential in quantum information processing and topological photonics.
