Mesoscopic nanoshells: geometry-dependent plasmon resonances beyond the quasistatic limit.
The plasmon response of a spherical metallic shell becomes significantly more complex as its size is increased beyond the quasistatic limit. With increasing size and decreasing aspect ratio (r1/r2), higher order multipolar modes contribute in a more dominant manner, and two distinct core-shell geometries exist that provide the same dipole plasmon resonance, with differing relative multipolar co...
متن کاملLight with enhanced optical chirality.
Tang and Cohen [Phys. Rev. Lett.104, 163901 (2010)] recently demonstrated a scheme to enhance the chiral response of molecules, which relies on the use of circularly polarized light in a standing wave configuration. Here we show a new type of light that possesses orbital angular momentum and enhanced chiral response. In the locations where the beams show enhanced optical chirality, only the lon...
متن کاملTailoring Enhanced Optical Chirality: Design Principles for Chiral Plasmonic Nanostructures
Electromagnetic fields with strong optical chirality can be formed in the near field of chiral plasmonic nanostructures. We calculate and visualize the degree of chirality to identify regions with relatively high values. This analysis leads to design principles for a simple utilization of chiral fields. We investigate planar geometries, which offer a convenient way to access the designated fiel...
متن کاملLocally Enhanced and Tunable Optical Chirality in Helical Metamaterials
We report on a numerical study of optical chirality. Intertwined gold helices illuminated with plane waves concentrate right and left circularly polarized electromagnetic field energy to sub-wavelength regions. These spots of enhanced chirality can be smoothly shifted in position and magnitude by varying illumination parameters, allowing for the control of light-matter interactions on a nanomet...
متن کاملOptical 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...
