Topologically reconstructing Pancharatnam-Berry phase via encircling exceptional point for chiral spin-orbit interaction steering

Spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) of light are governed by Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase and commonly act on cross-polarized components of an electric field. Here, authors show that, in non-Hermitian metasurfaces, encircling an exceptional point can suppress, in…
