contents Although several efforts have been taken to enhance the photonic spin Hall shift in deep-subwavelength region, according to effective medium theory, the fundamental confliction between near-zero reflection coefficient and near-zero incident angle still hinders the further application. Here, we reveal a fundamental breakdown of effective medium theory due to the existing of topological singularity in deep-subwavelength region in one-dimensional photonic crystals. We find that near the topological singularity, huge photonic spin Hall shift can be achieved for s-polarization and p-polarization. At the topological singularity, the reflected filed is split as dipole-like distribution with zero photonic spin Hall shift for both-polarizations, which is resulted from the interfere of the spin-maintained normal light and spin-flipped abnormal light. Based on the theoretical research, dual-polarizations thickness and dielectric constant sensing devices can be designed in deep-subwavelength region. Further more, by applying more complicated layered structure, multi-channels dual-polarizations detection and broadband dual-polarizations huge spin Hall shift platform can be designed. This work paves the way to exploring the topological properties and polarization control of photonic crystals and provides a prospective method for the design of multi-channels sensitive detection spin optical devices.
