Electrically-driven chiral emission from plasmonic tunnel junctions
Yuanyang Xie, Alexey V. Krasavin, Anatoly V. Zayats
Chirality plays a crucial role in a broad range of processes including light-matter interactions in physics, chemistry and biology, which opens up new applications in nanophotonics…
Dynamics of Transverse Spin and Longitudinal Fields of Cylindrical Vector Beams in Optically Active Media
Yuanyang Xie, Alexey Krasavin, Anatoly V. Zayats +1
Due to the inhomogeneous polarisation across the beam profile, cylindrical vector beams interact with optically active media in a complex manner. Here, we analyse evolution of pola…
Meso-chiral optical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles: uncovering hidden chirality
Yuanyang Xie, Alexey V. Krasavin, Anatoly V. Zayats
Molecular chirality plays an important role in chemistry and biology, allows control of biological interactions, affects drugs efficacy and safety, and promotes synthesis of new ma…
Longitudinal field controls vector vortex beams in anisotropic epsilon-near-zero metamaterials
Vittorio Aita, Diane J. Roth, Anastasiia Zaleska +5
Structured light plays an important role in metrology, optical trapping and manipulation, communications, quantum technologies, nonlinear optics and provides a rich playground for…
Unidirectional chiral scattering from single enantiomeric plasmonic nanoparticles
Yuanyang Xie, Alexey V. Krasavin, Diane J. Roth +1
Controlling scattering and routing of chiral light at the nanoscale is important for optical information processing and imaging, quantum technologies as well as optical manipulatio…
