Characterization of gammadion performance. (a, b) Experimental a and simulated b zeroth-order transmittance spectra for the planar chiral nanostructures for both RCP (red) and LCP incident light (blue). (c) Experimental (solid line) and simulated (dotted line) circular dichroism spectra, defined as the differential transmittance between RCP and LCP from the results shown in a and b, respectively. (d) Circular birefringence spectra (also known as the optical rotary dispersion) of the gammadions, comprising azimuth rotation angles from polarimetric data (green circles) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations (dotted line). (e) Polarization ellipses of the zeroth-order transmitted polarization states at various wavelengths under linearly polarized incidence. Their ellipticity and azimuthal angles are obtained from the experimental data shown in c, d.
