As a two-dimensional (2D) material, black phosphorus (BP) has attracted significant attention owing to exotic physical properties such as low-energy band gap, high carrier mobility, and strong in-plane anisotropy. The striking in-plane anisotropy is a promising candidate for novel light-matter interaction. Here, we investigate the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) on a monolayer of BP. Due to the in-plane anisotropic property of BP, the PSHE is accompanied with Goos-Hanchen and Imbert-Fedorov effects, resulting in an asymmetric spin splitting. The asymmetric spin splitting can be flexibly tuned by the angle between the incident plane and the armchair crystalline direction of BP and by the carrier density via a bias voltage. The centroid displacements of two opposite spin components of the reflected beam along directions parallel and perpendicular to the incident plane can be considered as four independent channels for information processing. The potential application in barcode-encryption is proposed and discussed. These findings provide a deeper insight into the spin-orbit interaction in 2D material and thereby facilitate the development of optoelectronic devices in the Terahertz region.
