Abstract
An electronic beam splitter with a local Rashba spin-orbit coupling can serve as a detector for spin-polarized currents. The spin-orbit coupling plays the role of a tunable spin rotator and can be controlled via a gate electrode on top of the conductor. We use spin-resolved scattering theory to calculate the zero-temperature current fluctuations (shot noise) for such a four-terminal device and show that the shot noise is proportional to the spin polarization of the source. Moreover, we analyze the effect of spin-orbit-induced intersubband coupling, leading to an additional spin rotation.
