Abstract
We describe the spin-Hall effect of light (as well as the angular Goos-Hänchen effect) at a tilted linear-dichroic plate,
such as a usual linear polarizer. Although the spin-Hall effect
at a tilted polarizer was previously associated with the geometric spin-Hall effect of light (which was contrasted to
the regular spin-Hall effect) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 113902
(2014)], we show that the effect is actually an example of
the regular spin-Hall effect that occurs at tilted anisotropic
plates [Optica 3, 1039 (2016)]. Moreover, our approach reveals the angular spin-Hall shift, which is absent in the
“geometric” approach. We verify our theory experimentally
using the method of quantum weak measurements.
