Abstract

We investigate the joint spectral-spatial dispersion effects on the spin-orbit interaction of light. The effect arises due to propagation of weakly focused linearly-polarized light beam through an elliptically birefringent quartz crystal plate (XP). We demonstrate via simulation and experiment a continuous and full rotation of the two-lobe intensity pattern around a phase singular point in the parameter space as a function of the incident beam wavelength (λ) and the fast-axis orientation (ϕ) of the XP. The joint spectral-spatial dispersion effect on the spin-orbit interaction of light further enhances our understanding of light-matter interaction and the emergence of topological behavior from a single crystal plate.
