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 کاملEffects of size and frequency dispersion in plasmonic cloaking.
The plasmonic venue to realize invisibility and cloaking [A. Alù and N. Engheta, Phys. Rev. E 72, 016623 (2005)] is analyzed here in terms of its limitations and its frequency dispersion relative to the cloak size. Intrinsic limits due to causality and comparison with transformation-based cloaking techniques are discussed and analyzed. An interestingly simple low-dispersion cloak is also sugges...
متن کاملMeasurement of thin film parameters with a prism coupler.
The prism coupler, known from experiments on integrated optics, can be used to determine the refractive index and the thickness of a light-guiding thin film. Both parameters are obtained simultaneously and with good accuracy by measuring the coupling angles at the prism and fitting them by a theoretical dispersion curve. The fundamentals and limitations. of this method are discussed, its practi...

متن کاملCompact low loss and broadband hybrid plasmonic directional coupler.
We propose a novel broadband coupler for silicon photonics using a hybrid plasmonic waveguide section. The hybrid plasmonic waveguide is used to create an asymmetric section in the middle of a silicon nanowire waveguide coupler to introduce a phase delay to allow for a 3-dB power coupling ratio over a 150 nm bandwidth around 1.55 µm. The device is very compact (<8.5 µm) and has a low insertion ...
