Metasurface-Controlled Photonic Rashba Effect for Upconversion Photoluminescence.

We demonstrate the effect of spin-momentum locking of upconversion photoluminescence emitted from rare-earth doped nanocrystals coupled to a phase-gradient dielectric metasurface. We observe different directionalities for left and right circular polarized light and associate this experimental observation with realized for upconverted photoluminescence that is manifested in the spin-dependent splitting of emitted light in the momentum space.
