摘要
In this article, the effects of the rotation angle between upper and lower n-fold rotational symmetric nano-structures are studied. Various modes of circular dichroism (single wavelength band, dual-wavelength bands, and more than two wavelength bands) in the wavelength band from 3.3 to 5 μm are realized. Circular dichroism up to 0.798 are observed. Meanwhile, sensitivity of circular dichroism to the rotation angle and reconfigure strategy for opposite responses has been discussed. Based on Born-Kuhn model, physical mechanism of mode’s switching is explained with charge distributions. The multi-mode chiroptical responses in mid-infrared band and the variety of design strategies have potential applications in the field of tunable multi-band chiral devices.
