Photonic spin Hall effect (SHE) manifests itself as spin-dependent shift or splitting of a light beam, which is derived from spin-orbit interactions, and can be realized by breaking the rotation symmetry of light-matter interaction systems. Here, we demonstrate the observation of a photonic SHE by breaking the rotation symmetry of the optical field, while keeping the rotation symmetry of the inhomogeneous waveplate. The inhomogeneous waveplate constructed by dielectric nanostructures, introduces a spin-dependent Pancharatnam-Berry phase to the two spin components of the input beam, i.e., the l...
