Circular dichroism nano-imaging of two-dimensional chiral metal nanostructures.

چکیده
Here we report on a nanoscale circular dichroism (CD) imaging for a two-dimensional chiral pair of nanostructures to elucidate the relationship between nanoscale chirality and CD activity. The chiral pair exhibited local ellipticity as high as 42 degrees in the CD signal at the center, with signals of both handedness coexisting in one nanostructure.

Large-area 3D chiral plasmonic structures.
We manufacture large-area plasmonic structures featuring 3-dimensional chirality by colloidal nanohole lithography. By varying the polar rotating speed of the samples during gold evaporation, we can fabricate spiral-type ramp nanostructures. The optical properties show chiroptical resonances in the 100 to 400 THz frequency region (750 to 3000 nm), with circular dichroism values of up to 13%. Ou...

Circularly polarized laser sources with small footprints and high efficiencies can possess advanced functionalities in optical communication and biophotonic integrated systems. However, the conventional lasers with additional circular-polarization converters are bulky and hardly compatible with nanophotonic circuits, and most active chiral plasmonic nanostructures nowadays exhibit broadband emi...

The paper reviews recent progress on chiral nanocrystal assemblies with induced optical chirality and related circular dichroism. Many natural molecules and biomolecules are chiral and exhibit remarkably strong optical chirality (circular dichroism) due to their amazingly uniform atomic composition in a large ensemble. It is challenging to realize artificial nanoscale systems with optical chira...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of the microscopic origin of circular dichroism in two-dimensional metamaterials
Optical activity and circular dichroism are fascinating physical phenomena originating from the interaction of light with chiral molecules or other nano objects lacking mirror symmetries in three-dimensional (3D) space. While chiral optical properties are weak in most of naturally occurring materials, they can be engineered and significantly enhanced in synthetic optical media known as chiral m...
متن کاملExtrinsic chirality of non-concentric plasmonic nanorings
We show how extrinsic chirality, i.e. the optical activity of achiral media exhibited at oblique light incidence, can be achieved in plasmonic nanorings by symmetry breaking. We demonstrate that even a small, 5% offset of an inner hole of a 190 nm gold ring results in a measurable circular dichroism signal in the near-infrared region. By using computer simulations, we show that optical activity...
