Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of optics, in particular to a double-structure combined metal nano-film chiral optical device.
Background
Chirality refers to the property that a structure cannot coincide with its mirror image, and a chiral structure is ubiquitous in nature, such as biological macromolecules such as proteins, glycosylation and DNA, and plays a key role in biochemistry and life evolution, and is therefore important for chiral analysis of chiral molecules.
The most direct and effective technique for molecular chiral analysis at present is circular dichroism, and the principle of the technique is that chiral molecules absorb left and right circularly polarized light differently. When a chiral sample is irradiated by monochromatic left-handed circularly polarized light and monochromatic right-handed circularly polarized light, the chiral sample has different absorption to the left-handed circularly polarized light, and the absorption difference of the chiral molecules under different wavelengths is called circular dichroism.
Chirality can be classified according to its structural features: intrinsic chirality and extrinsic chirality. Intrinsic chirality is the chirality that the structure itself possesses, and extrinsic chirality refers to the chirality that the structure constitutes with incident light.
In the study of chiral molecular asymmetry, when left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light are incident, chiral materials show different effective refractive indexes and different propagation speeds. When the metamaterial has extremely strong chirality, even a negative refractive index is presented, and the negative refractive index material is also called chiral metamaterial. The negative refractive index material can be used for hiding an object, and sub-wavelength resolution imaging and the like which break through diffraction limit are achieved. This may have a significant impact on research in the fields of physics, engineering, optics, and materials science. Therefore, the study of chiral structure is the leading research topic in the fields of electromagnetism and optics. In the prior art, in the research of chiral structures, the modulation of light beam polarization characteristics or the circular dichroism for detecting chiral substances can be realized by designing a two-dimensional metal film chiral structure, but when a detected signal is weak, the obtained circular dichroism signal is not obvious, namely, the detection effect is not good.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a chiral structural unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The chiral structural unit 13 includes: the metal film 21, open "U" type seam 22 and "straight" seam 23 on the metal film. The U-shaped slits 22 and the straight slits 23 penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the metal film to form through-holes in the metal film.
The metal film 21 is square in shape having a first side length and a second side length, the first side length being equal to the first period P of the two-dimensional array of chiral structures 12xThe length of the second side length is equal to the second period P of the two-dimensional array 12 of chiral structuresyThe first side length and the second side length are both 400 nm-1000 nm in size. The thickness of the metal film is T, and the range is 20 nm-100 nm. The metal film 21 is made of a good conductor, such as a noble metal, e.g., gold, silver, copper, or aluminum.
The U-shaped seam 22 comprises three arm lengths of a left arm length, a right arm length and a lower arm length, wherein the left arm length, the right arm length and the lower arm length are respectively l1、l2、l3The length range is 100 nm-300 nm, the three arm lengths can be equal or unequal, the three arm lengths have the same width w, and the size range is 30 nm-50 nm.
The straight slit 23 is provided on one side of the U-shaped slit 22 and is disposed parallel to the lower arm length of the U-shaped slit 22. The straight seam can be arranged at a first position which is flush with the lower end of the U-shaped seam, or at a second position which is flush with the upper end of the U-shaped seam, or at any position between the first position and the second position.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of generating circular dichroism by the chiral structural unit according to the embodiment of the present invention. When a left-handed polarized Light (LCP) enters from the front of the chiral structural unit and passes through the chiral structural unit, the transmittance of the received left-handed polarized light is T--When a right-hand polarized light (RCP) is incident from the front of the chiral structural unit and passes through the chiral structural unit, the transmittance of the received right-hand polarized light is T++Where the subscript "- -" indicates left-handed polarized light and "+" indicates right-handed polarized light, the circular dichroism of the chiral structural unit can be expressed as:
CD＝T++-T--(1)
the transmission rates of the left-handed polarized light and the right-handed polarized light after passing through the chiral structural unit are different, namely T++≠T--Thus, the size of the CD represents the magnitude of circular dichroism of the chiral building blocks.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating a structural comparison between a conventional chiral structural unit and a chiral structural unit provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 (a) is a prior art chiral structural unit comprising a single "U" shaped slit, and fig. 4 (b) is a chiral structural unit comprising a "U" shaped slit and a "straight" slit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a graph comparing a circular dichroism spectrum generated by a conventional chiral structural unit and a chiral structural unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. A beam of left-handed circularly polarized light is obliquely incident on the chiral structure unit in a Z-X plane along the direction with the included angles of 45 degrees with the X-axis negative direction and the Z-axis negative direction, and the transmissivity T of the left-handed circularly polarized light is detected on one side of the emergent surface of the chiral structure unit--(ii) a Then, the product is processedMaking a bundle of right-handed circularly polarized light obliquely incident on the chiral structure unit in a Z-X plane along a direction with an included angle of 45 degrees with the X-axis negative direction and the Z-axis negative direction, and detecting the transmittance T of the right-handed circularly polarized light on one side of the emergent surface of the chiral structure unit++(ii) a The resulting circular dichroism spectrum generated by the chiral building block can be calculated according to equation (1).
In FIG. 5, the dotted curves represent the prior art circular dichroism spectra generated by chiral building blocks having only a single "U" shaped slit, and the dotted curves represent the prior art circular dichroism spectra generated by chiral building blocks having "U" shaped slits plus "straight" slits according to embodiments of the present invention. It can be seen that the chiral structure with only a single "U" shaped slit produces a circular dichroism spectrum at the wavelength λ1＝590nm、λ2＝740nm、λ3＝860nm、λ4＝960nm、λ5The CD signal appears near 1690nm, the signal size is 0.6%, 8%, 4.8%, 12% in sequence, and the chiral structure with U-shaped seam plus one-shaped seam generates circular dichroism spectrum at the wavelength lambda1＝590nm、λ2＝760nm、λ3＝910nm、λ4＝1020nm、λ5A CD signal appears around 1710nm, and the signal magnitude is 3%, 14.9%, 24.6%, 12.7%, and 12.5% in this order. The CD signal generated after the I-shaped seam is added on one side of the U-shaped seam is obviously enhanced. The reason is that the addition of the straight slit changes the current flow direction on the metal film around the U-shaped slit, and a magnetic dipole appears at the straight slit, so that circular dichroism is enhanced.
In summary, the double-structure combined metal nano-film chiral optical device of the embodiment of the invention adopts the chiral structure two-dimensional array composed of the plurality of double-structure metal nano-film chiral structure units, the chiral structure units are additionally provided with the one-line-shaped slit on the base structure of the single U-shaped slit, and more magnetic dipoles are generated near the one-line-shaped slit.
