Abstract
Vortex dichroism in chiral metamaterials is of great significance to the study of photoelectric detection, optical communication, and the interaction between light and matter. Here we propose a compact chiral metamaterials structure composed of two elliptical SiO2 rods covered with a Au film on a substrate to achieve a significant vortex-dichroism effect. Such a structure has different responses to a Laguerre-Gaussian beam carrying opposite-orbital angular momentum, resulting in giant vortex dichroism. The influences of various structural parameters are analyzed, and the optimal parameters are obtained to realize a remarkable vortex dichroism of about 58.5%. The simplicity and giant VD effect of the proposed metamaterials make it a promising candidate for advancing chiral optical applications such as optical communication and sensing.
期刊介绍：
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
