Abstract

The deposition of chiral nanoparticles (NPs) onto various substrates is crucial for the fabrication of high-density photonic devices. Understanding the interaction of chiral light and chiral NPs supported on substrates is essential for developing optical sensors and modulators. However, the chiroptical responses of plasmonic chiral NPs on substrates have remained elusive. Here we provide an important understanding of the correlation between the substrate material and the chiroptical response. The scattering dissymmetry factors of individual chiral Au nanocubes are inverted and enhanced with a gold film. Qualitative theories are proposed to analyze the observed variations in the chiroptical signals of chiral NPs on different substrates. Our results offer an encouraging route for modulating and amplifying the chiroptical signals in the use of chiral NPs in light control, light-based quantum technologies, and sensing.
