Tailoring 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 کاملChiral Plasmonic Nanostructures
Noble-metal nanoparticles (NPs) occupy the top drawer in the toolbox of scientists working with optical materials. These NPs confine light in extremely small volumes, and their individual scattering properties can be designed virtually at will by shaping and arranging the NPs carefully. When their behaviour is considered collectively, the NPs can also be used as building blocks (meta-atoms or m...
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...

متن کاملOptical interactions in plasmonic nanostructures
We present a review of plasmonic nanostructures in which the constituent materials are coupled together by optical interactions. The review first provides a comprehensive coverage of theoretical framework where the optical interactions are described by the multiple scattering among the nanostructures. We then discuss the two limiting cases of weak and strong interactions. The weak interaction r...
