WE-Heraeus-Seminar on Nanophotonics and Complex Spatial Modes of Light N2 - The introduction of the near-field quantity of optical chirality has emerged in various numerical and few experimental studies of local chirality enhancement due to its relation to the excitation rate of chiral molecules. This time-even pseudoscalar has been dismissed as being a higher-order version of helicity. Nevertheless, we revisit the derivation of the underlying conservation law and define optical chirality in media similar to. We identify the mechanism of chirality conversion by either inhomogeneous or anisotropic space to complement the conservation of optical chirality. The conservation law of optical chirality in arbitrary space enables the extension of the concept of polarization to the near-field where no distiniguished propagation direction of light is present. We show that the connection of electromagnetic energy and optical chirality provide the ability to define a circular polarization basis in time-harmonic near-field analysis. In order to illustrate our theory, we present electromagnetic field simulations of simple as well as more complex nanostructures. Results using the well-known far-field polarization concept are readily reproduced and extended from the point of view of chirality conversion.

These features are indispensable for the optimization of optical properties or reconstruction of parameters through inverse processes. High computational complexity prohibits the evaluation of the solution for many parameters. We present a reduced basis method (RBM) for the time-harmonic electromagnetic scattering problem allowing to compute solutions for a parameter configuration orders of magnitude faster. The RBM allows to evaluate linear and nonlinear outputs of interest like Fourier transform or the enhancement of the electromagnetic field in milliseconds. We apply the RBM to compute light-scattering off two dimensional photonic crystal structures made of silicon and reconstruct geometrical parameters.

Here, we formulate a far-field interpretation of optical chirality by investigating its conservation law in isotropic media in analogy to Poynting’s Theorem.

Most commonly found in organic molecules, chirality can also occur in other systems, such as electromagnetic fields, where circularly polarized light is the most widespread example. Chiral electromagnetic fields can be a useful tool for biosensing applications. In particular, it has been shown that chiral plasmonic nanostructures have the ability to produce strongly enhanced chiral near-fields. Recently, our group has developed chiral plasmonic nanopyramids, which have the ability to focus chiral near-fields at their tip. This could enable chiral sensing at the single-molecule level. Chiral near-fields can be characterized in terms of the “optical chirality density”. This time-even and parity-odd pseudoscalar was first derived by Lipkin and was found to follow a conservation law analogous to the energy conservation of electromagnetic fields. More recently, Tang and Cohen identified the physical meaning of the “optical chirality density” as the degree of asymmetry in the excitation rate of a chiral molecule. However, how this near-field interpretation of the optical chirality could translate into the far-field is not well understood. Here, we formulate a far-field interpretation by investigating the conservation law for optical chirality in matter, and performing time-averaging in analogy to Poynting’s Theorem. In parallel to extinction energy, we define the “global chirality” as the sum of chirality dissipation within a material and the chirality flux leaving the system. With finite-element simulations, we place a dipole source at locations of enhanced local chirality and investigate the global chirality and ellipticity of emitted light in the far-field. Interestingly, we find that lossy materials with a complex dielectric function have the ability to generate global chirality when excited by achiral light. In particular, chiral plasmonic nanostructures are found to act as effective global chirality generators. The global interpretation of optical chirality provides a useful tool for biosensing applications with chiral plasmonic nanostructures, where the detection is routinely performed in the far-field.

SPIE N2 - Rigorous optical simulations of 3-dimensional nano-photonic structures are an important tool in the analysis and optimization of scattering properties of nano-photonic devices or parameter reconstruction. To construct geometrically accurate models of complex structured nano-photonic devices the finite element method (FEM) is ideally suited due to its flexibility in the geometrical modeling and superior convergence properties. Reduced order models such as the reduced basis method (RBM) allow to construct self-adaptive, error-controlled, very low dimensional approximations for input-output relationships which can be evaluated orders of magnitude faster than the full model. This is advantageous in applications requiring the solution of Maxwell's equations for multiple parameters or a single parameter but in real time. We present a reduced basis method for 3D Maxwell's equations based on the finite element method which allows variations of geometric as well as material and frequency parameters. We demonstrate accuracy and efficiency of the method for a light scattering problem exhibiting a resonance in the electric field.

The finite element method (FEM) yields rigorous, time-harmonic, high accuracy solutions of the full 3D vectorial Maxwell's equations [1] and furthermore allows for great flexibility and accuracy in the geometrical modeling of these often complex shaped 3D nano-structures. A major drawback of frequency domain methods is the limitation of single frequency evaluations. For example the accurate computation of the short circuit current density of an amorphous silicon / micro-crystalline multi-junction thin film solar cell may require the solution of Maxwell's equations for over a hundred different wavelengths if an equidistant sampling strategy is employed. Also in optical metrology, wavelength scans are frequently used to reconstruct unknown geometrical and material properties of optical systems numerically from measured scatterometric data. In our contribution we present several adaptive numerical integration and sampling routines and study their efficiency in the context of the determination of generation rate profiles of solar cells. We show that these strategies lead to a reduction in the computational effort without loss of accuracy. We discuss the employment of tangential information in a Hermite interpolation scheme to achieve similar accuracy on coarser grids. We explore the usability of these strategies for scatterometry and solar cell simulations.
