In article number 2100138, Minkyung Kim, Dasol Lee, and Junsuk Rho propose an approach towards the spin Hall effect of light that is independent of the incident polarization state. A symmetrical splitting of an incident light into two circularly polarized light is demonstrated under arbitrarily polarized light and unpolarized light when the two linear polarization states have the same reflection coefficient. The polarization‐independent spin Hall effect of light will widen the applicability of the spin‐dependent optical devices to cover randomly polarized or unpolarized sources.
