ABSTRACTFor chirooptic molecular memory system, induced chirality on an azobenzene-containing amorphous polymer film was investigated using circularly polarized Ar+ laser with various ellipticity. High intense CD spectrum proved that optical-induced chirality on the amorphous film. Additionally, elliptically polarized light induced much higher chirality than circularly polarized light.

In the experiment of the polarization of light, circularly polarized light can’t be got though all instruments are carefully adjusted and the polarized light we get is generally regarded as elliptically polarized light. We analyzed the process and find the light we get isn’t circularly polarized light or elliptically polarized light as usually thought and deduced the light intensity distribution function and it can fit the experimental results with small errors.

Abstract We demonstrate terahertz dielectric metasurfaces with anisotropic multipoles within the framework of the generalized Huygens principle, in which the interference among these multipoles achieves giant phase shift with broadened bandwidth and high transmission coefficients. More importantly, owing to the anisotropic design, various phase delays between π/2 and 3π/2 are obtained, which convert the incident linearly polarized terahertz wave into right/left-handed circularly polarized light, elliptically polarized light and cross polarized light. Both simulation and experimental results verify complete terahertz polarization control with the ellipticity ranging from 1 to -1, which paves a way for polarization–related applications of terahertz meta-devices.

Recently we have developed a form of polarization microscopy that forms images using optical properties that have previously been limited to macroscopic samples. This has given us a new window into the distribution of structure on a microscopic scale. We have coined the name differential polarization microscopy to identify the images obtained that are due to certain polarization dependent effects. Differential polarization microscopy has its origins in various spectroscopic techniques that have been used to study longer range structures in solution as well as solids. The differential scattering of circularly polarized light has been shown to be dependent on the long range chiral order, both theoretically and experimentally. The same theoretical approach was used to show that images due to differential scattering of circularly polarized light will give images dependent on chiral structures. With large helices (greater than the wavelength of light) the pitch and radius of the helix could be measured directly from these images.
