Abstract
We manufacture large-area plasmonic structures featuring 3-dimensional chirality by colloidal nanohole lithography. By varying the polar rotating speed of the samples during gold evaporation, we can fabricate spiral-type ramp nanostructures. The optical properties show chiroptical resonances in the 100 to 400 THz frequency region (750 to 3000 nm), with circular dichroism values of up to 13%. Our method offers a simple low-cost manufacturing method of cm(2)-sized chiral plasmonic templates for chiroptical applications such as stereochemical enantiomer sensors.
