Geometric phase from Aharonov–Bohm to Pancharatnam–Berry and beyond (2019, background): “in spin-orbit coupling has been observed in evanescent waves upon total internal reflection. These effects have been investigated theoretically and observed experimentally under various circumstances (143,144,145,146). Using this optical spin-orbit coupling resulting from a geometric phase, several ”
