Structured Optical Fields Reveal Nanoscale Chiral Light-Matter Interactions Governed by Optical Chirality

Atsushi Kamegaya, Shun Hashiyada, Yoshito Y. Tanaka

Optical chirality has been proposed as the local electromagnetic quantity governing chiral light-matter interactions, yet in conventional circularly polarized fields its magnitude…

Real-Space Double Crossing Reveals Symmetry-Driven Dispersion Back-Bending of Surface Phonon Polaritons on α-Quartz

Ryoga Odawara, Kotaro Shirahata, Aozora Ohi +2

Surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) in anisotropic crystals exhibit direction-dependent propagation and dispersion, yet how their dispersion back-bending manifests in real space has…

Unveiling orbital optical chirality through multipolar chiral light-matter interaction

Shun Hashiyada, An'an Wu, Yoshito Y. Tanaka

Chiral light-matter interactions have traditionally been understood in terms of electric-magnetic dipolar interference driven by light with spin angular momentum. Here, we show tha…

Conservation law for angular momentum based on optical field derivatives: Analysis of optical spin-orbit conversion

Shun Hashiyada, Yoshito Y. Tanaka

We present a theoretical framework for analyzing the loss of optical angular momentum (AM), including spin (SAM) and orbital (OAM) components, in light-matter interactions. Convent…

Symmetry control of strong chiral light matter interactions in photonic nanocavities for efficient circularly polarised emission

Rahul Kumar, Ben Trodden, Anastasiia Klimash +6

Chiral excited electronic states of molecules have an intrinsic sense of handedness, or twist, and are the active component in energy efficient display technologies and in new phot…
