Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of micro-nano optics, in particular to a device for generating a super-chiral optical field.
Background
Chirality describes the structural features of a three-dimensional object that cannot be coincident with its mirror image by translation and rotation. Chirality is closely related to the human body, and genetic materials, enzymes, molecules constituting cells, etc. in the body of a living body often have chirality. Objects of opposite chirality, called enantiomers, are equivalent in their scalar physical properties, but often are quite different in chemical properties, and they can only be distinguished upon interaction with a chiral species. For biological molecules, molecules with different chiralities have different cytotoxicity, so that the detection of chiral substances has very important application in the fields of medicinal medicine, biochemistry, biocatalysis and the like.
Circularly polarized light is the most common chiral optical field, and under excitation of circularly polarized light with different handedness, the absorptivity of chiral molecules is different, and the absorption of the circularly polarized light with left rotation is A1Absorption of right-handed circularly polarized light is A2This optically active phenomenon is called circular dichroism, and the degree of absorption difference can be determined by a chiral asymmetry factor g of 2 (a)1-A2)/(A1+A2) The positive and negative of g represent the chiral direction of the chiral molecules, and the absolute value represents the chiral size of the chiral molecules. Meanwhile, the asymmetric factor is not only related to chiral molecules, but also closely related to the chirality of the optical field. Therefore, the acquisition of stronger asymmetric factors by exciting the optical field chirality plays an important role in circular dichroism detection, namely, the distinction of chiral molecules, and a high-precision and non-contact type tool for detecting the chiral molecules is provided for various fields of biology, physics, chemistry and the like.
Initially, researchers discovered that a super-chiral optical field could be generated at the node of the standing wave induced by two mutually opposite-chiral coherent circularly polarized light beams, but the thickness of the super-chiral region is very small, which brings difficulty to further detection of chiral molecules. In recent years, researchers find that by means of space engineering of a complex optical field, an optical field with an asymmetric factor larger than that of a common circularly polarized optical field, namely a super-chiral optical field, can be obtained by regulating the amplitude of an electromagnetic field and the distribution of the electromagnetic field in space. When the hyper-chiral optical field interacts with the chiral molecules, the electric dipole-magnetic dipole mixed transition mechanism of the chiral molecules is enhanced, and the pure electric dipole level transition is inhibited, so that the improvement of circular dichroism signals is facilitated. However, none of the existing techniques for generating a super-chiral optical field has a sufficiently high asymmetry factor.
