Pancharatnam–Berry Phase Induced Spin-Selective Transmission in Herringbone Dielectric Metamaterials

A dielectric metamaterial approach for achieving spin-selective transmission of electromagnetic waves is proposed. The design is based on a spin-controlled constructive or destructive interference between propagating phase and Pancharatnam–Berry phase. The dielectric metamaterial, consisting of monolithic silicon herringbone structures, exhibits a broadband operation in the terahertz regime.
