Abstract

Low-cost large-area chirality meta-devices (CMDs) with adjustable optical chirality are of great interest for polarization-sensitive imaging, stereoscopic display, enantioselectivity analysis, and catalysis. Currently, CMDs with adjusted chiroptical responses in the mid-infrared to terahertz band have been demonstrated by exploiting photocarriers of silicon, pressure, and phase-change of GSTs but are still absent in the visible band, which in turn limits the development of chiral nanophotonic devices. Herein, by employing a phase-change material (Sb2S3), we present a protocol for the fabrication of wafer-scale visible-band enantiomeric CMDs with handedness, spectral, and polarization adjustability. As measured by circular dichroism, the chirality signs of CMDs enantiomers can be adjusted with Sb2S3 from amorphous to crystalline, and the chirality resonance wavelength can also be adjusted. Our results suggest a new type of meta-devices with adjustable chiroptical responses that may potentially enable a wide range of chirality nanophotonic applications including highly sensitive sensing and surface-enhanced nanospectroscopy.
