Abstract

This paper introduces a three-dimensional (3-D) artificial chiral nanostructure, which has variant total optical loss spectroscopies under left- and right-handed circularly polarized (LCP and RCP) incident light. The resulting circular dichroism is induced by Fano resonance generated by the engineered chiral metamolecule, which consists of asymmetrically arranged gold (Au) nanoparticles in three dimensions. The Fano resonance generation is a consequence of modal interference between bright and dark plasmonic modes of asymmetric constituent dimers of the metamolecule.
