Asymmetric optical transmission plays a key role in many optical systems. In this work, we propose and numerically demonstrate a dielectric–metal metasurface that can achieve high-performance asymmetric transmission for linearly polarized light in the near-infrared region. Most notably, it supports a forward transmittance peak (with a transmittance of 0.70) and a backward transmittance dip (with a transmittance of 0.07) at the same wavelength of 922 nm, which significantly enhances operation bandwidth and the contrast ratio between forward and backward transmittances. Mechanism analyses reveal that the forward transmittance peak is caused by the unidirectional excitation of surface plasmon polaritons and the first Kerker condition, whereas the backward transmittance dip is due to reflection from the metal film and a strong toroidal dipole response. Our work provides an alternative and simple way to obtain high-performance asymmetric transmission devices.

AbstractIn this paper we report new excitation method of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) at air/gold interface with electrospun nanofibers. Nanofibers of polyvinylpirrolidone were electrospun onto the surface of a gold film. The observations by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy indicated that the average diameters of the nanofibers were about 300 nm and average sizes of pores were about 30-40 μm. Optical response of the nanofibers on gold surface was investigated by polarized reflection absorption spectroscopy (RAS). The RAS spectrum with p-polarized light showed two absorption bands while the spectrum with s-polarized light only one band. One is a band at about 520 nm that also found in the spectrum with s-polarized light. Another is a broad band in the near-infrared region which found only with p-polarized light. The peak intensity of the latter band increases with increase of incident angle of the polarized light and the peak wavelength of the band shifted to longer wavelength. These responses suggested that SPP at air/gold interface was excited with the scattering light from the electrospun nanofibers. We also found that the peak wavelength of the absorption band in near-infrared region changed with the increase of the amount of the nanofibers. This may be due to the fact that the sizes of the pores on gold surface became smaller than the propagation length of SPP, which resulted in scattering and interference of SPP.

Samples of oriented nylon film and filament were treated with anhydrous HCl and examined in the near-infrared region of 9000 to 3700 cm−1 with polarized light. The results are in agreement with previous observations made in the 3600–600 cm−1 region, and corroborate earlier evidence that HCl interacts with the peptide linkage. The disorienting effect of the HCl is also reflected in the spectrum of the treated specimens.

Lanthanides (LnIII) are well known for their characteristic emission in the Near-Infrared Region (NIR). However, direct excitation of lanthanides is not feasible as described by Laporte’s parity selection rule. Here,...
