Abstract

Observation of spin-dependent plasmonics based on the interference of topological defects in the near-field is presented. We utilize the surface plasmons' scattering dynamics from localized vortex sources to create spinoptical devices as an ensemble of isolated nanoantennas to observe a "giant" spin-dependent plasmonic vortex and a spin-dependent plasmonic focusing lens. The spin-orbit point spread function, a spiral wavefront, is introduced, where the optical spin is a degree of freedom.
