Illustration of Spin-Light Interface (IMAGE) Linköping University Caption This is an illustration of the conversion between the spin direction of the electron and the helicity of the chiral light. Here, the direction of spin of the electron in the nanodisk determines the rotation direction of the electric field of the chiral light, either clockwise or counter-clockwise when seen in the direction of travel of the light.Illustration of the conversion between the spin direction of the electron and the helicity of the chiral light.
