Optical Chirality Enhancement in Twisted Arrays of Plasmonic Nano-rods
An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...
متن کاملSymmetry and Chirality: Continuous Measures
Folding Applying a set of inverse symmetry operations on a set of points. This procedure is one of the main steps in the folding unfolding method for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Folding unfolding method A visual and computational procedure for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Fuzzy subset A set whose elements have a range of values corresponding to the degree of membership in t...
متن کاملChlorophylls, Symmetry, Chirality, and Photosynthesis
Chlorophylls are a fundamental class of tetrapyrroles and function as the central reaction center, accessory and photoprotective pigments in photosynthesis. Their unique individual photochemical properties are a consequence of the tetrapyrrole macrocycle, the structural chemistry and coordination behavior of the phytochlorin system, and specific substituent pattern. They achieve their full pote...
متن کاملCharacterizing optical chirality
We examine the recently introduced measure of chirality of a monochromatic optical field [Y. Tang and A. E. Cohen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 163901 (2010)] using the momentum (plane-wave) representation and helicity basis. Our analysis clarifies the physical meaning of the measure of chirality and unveils its close relation to the polarization helicity, spin angular momentum, energy density, and Po...
