| description | Abstract Quantitative assessment of polarization properties of waves opens up the way for effective exploitation of them in many amazing applications. Tamm surface waves (TSW) that propagate on the interface of periodic dielectric media are proposed for many applications in numerous reports. The polarization state of TSW is not simply intuitive and would not be extracted from reflection spectra. Here considering orientation sensitive nature of the interaction between polarized electromagnetic wave and atom, we try to quantitatively characterize the polarization state of TSWs, excited on the surface of the 1D photonic crystal. To do this we performed direct contact between TSW and rubidium atomic gas by fabrication of a one-dimensional photonic crystal-atomic vapor cell and applied a moderate external magnetic field to create geometrical meaning and a sense of directionality to dark lines in reflection intensity. Our experimental results indicate that transition lines in the reflection spectrum of our hybrid system modify dependent on the orientation of the applied magnetic field and the transverse spin of TSW. We have used these changes to redefine the geometry of Voigt and Faraday for evanescent waves, especially Tamm surface waves. In the end, we performed simple mathematical operations on absorption spectra and extract the ratio of longitudinal and transverse electric field components of the polarization vector of TSW equal to $$\frac{2}{5}$$ 2 5 . |
