Enhancement of circular differential deflection of light in an optically active medium.

چکیده
In this letter, we investigate the circular differential deflection of a light beam refracted at the interface of an optically active medium. We show that the difference between the angles of deviation of the two circularly polarized components of the transmitted beam is enhanced manyfold near total internal reflection, which suggests a simple way of increasing the limit of detection of chiro-optical measurements.

Circular differential double diffraction in chiral media.
In an optically active liquid the diffraction angle depends on the circular polarization state of the incident light beam. We report the observation of circular differential diffraction in an isotropic chiral medium, and we demonstrate that double diffraction is an alternate means to determine the handedness (enantiomeric excess) of a solution.
متن کاملNew Method for Large Deflection Analysis of an Elliptic Plate Weakened by an Eccentric Circular Hole
The bending analysis of moderately thick elliptic plates weakened by an eccentric circular hole has been investigated in this article. The nonlinear governing equations have been presented by considering the von-Karman assumptions and the first-order shear deformation theory in cylindrical coordinates system. Semi-analytical polynomial method (SAPM) which had been presented by the author before...
متن کاملDifferential scatter of left and right circularly polarized light by optically active particulate systems.
Because of the many heterogeneous systems which are of interest to the chemist and biochemist, the problems of distortions in circular dichroism patterns have been investigated. Specifically in this communication it is shown with a relatively well-characterized particular system (a suspension of alpha-helical poly-L-glutamic acid) that there is a measurable differential scatter of left and righ...
متن کاملSize-Dependent Green’s Function for Bending of Circular Micro Plates Under Eccentric Load
In this paper, a Green’s function is developed for bending analysis of micro plates under an asymmetric load. In order to consider the length scale effect, the modified couple stress theory is used. This theory can accurately predict the behavior of micro structures. A thin micro plate is considered and therefore the classical plate theory is utilized. The size dependent governing equilibrium e...
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...
