Spin–orbit coupling of light in asymmetric microcavities

Optical spin–orbit coupling is known to occur in open systems such as helical waveguides. Here, the authors enable spin–orbit coupling of light confined to a closed path within an asymmetric optical microcavity and demonstrate a non-cyclic Berry phase acquired in a non-Abelian evolution.
