Abstract
A chiral nanostructure, which exhibits optical activity, absorbs different amounts of left-handed circularly polarized (LCP) and right-handed circularly polarized (RCP) light. In this work, we report the observation of dissymmetry between two-photon-induced LCP and RCP photoluminescence from plasmonic two-dimensional (2D) chiral Au nanostructures. Under excitation by linearly polarized femtosecond pulses from a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser with a low incident power of 3 mW, the 2D chiral plasmonic nanostructure yields circularly polarized two-photon-induced photoluminescence (TPIPL) due to resonance with a chiral multipolar plasmon mode of the nanostructure. The handedness of the circularly polarized TPIPL was dependent on the handedness of the chiral plasmonic nanostructure. The chiral nature of TPIPL may find potential applications in optical devices, sensing of chiral molecular environments in biological systems, and so forth.
