Abstract

In this Letter, we report a giant and robust asymmetric chiroptical effect (ACOE) in the chiral medium filled golden slit grating on glass substrate (CMGSG-GS). This ACOE comes from the influence of interface asymmetry on the electromagnetic cross-coupling in the CMGSG-GS, and it is inherently different than that reported in the Faraday medium and the planar anisotropic chiral metamaterials. Both the polarization eigenstate and the transmission matrix are highly dependent on the metal structure used in the CMGSG-GS. The polarization eigenstates of the CMGSG-GS are two co-rotating elliptical states with ellipticity of nearly 0, and they remain mostly unchanged for opposite directions. The transmission matrices of opposite directions are normal matrices, which do not show any symmetric law although the geometry of the CMGSG-GS owns a high rotational symmetry. The reported ACOE gives a measurable physical parameter to reveal the events happening at interface.
