Description:
Author(s): T. J. Davis and E. Hendry We show theoretically that localized surface plasmons can generate optical fields with a chirality exceeding that of circularly polarized light by a factor of 50. This superchiral optical field can be formed from linearly polarized light incident on nonchiral metal structures. We identify three mech... [Phys. Rev. B 87, 085405] Published Tue Feb 05, 2013
