Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Chiral metamaterials provide a very convenient way to actively regulate the light field via external means, which is very important in nanophotonics. However, the very weak chiral response of a generally planar metamaterial severely limits its application. Therefore, it is important to design a system with large circular dichroism. Here we report an optical metamaterial with strong chirality in a bilayer gear-shaped plasmonic structure and consider this chiral response of such fields on tunable atom (Rb-87) trapping. Simulation results show that maximum chiral response is observed when the two layers of the gearshaped structures are rotated from each other by an angle of 60 degrees at lambda=760 nm. Also, we demonstrate an active tunable potential for three-dimensional stable atom-trapping with tunable range of position and potential of a neutral atom of similar to 58 nm and similar to 1.3N mK (N denotes the input pc rover with unit mW), respectively. In addition, the trap centers are about hundreds of nanometers away from the structure surface, which ensures the stability of the trapping system. The regulation of neutral atom trapping broadens the application of chiral metamaterials and has potential significance in the manipulation of cold atoms.
