Popis: In recent years, the spin Hall effect of light (SHE), also called the photonic spin Hall effect has received extensive research attention, and a series of interesting results have been achieved. This phenomenon has potential applications in nanooptics, quantum information, and optoelectronic devices. In contrast to the pure photon SHE, the photonic spin Hall effect in the surface plasmonic platform exhibits unique properties due to the surface plasmon resonance effect of noble metal material and establishes the connection between photons and electrons. Therefore, the SHE of light in a surface plasmonic platform is expected to be applied to integrated optical devices to create a novel means of developing communication devices. In this paper, we review the progress on the SHE of light based on the plasmonic platform in recent years, and we discuss the future directions of research and prospects for its applications.
