Orientation dependence of optical activity in light scattering by nanoparticle clusters

Abstract: The optical properties of nanoparticle clusters vary with the spatial arrangement of the constituent particles, but also the overall orientation of the cluster with respect to the incident light. This is particularly important in the context of nanoscale chirality and associated chiroptical responses, such as circular dichroism or differential scattering of circularly polarised light in the far-field, or local degree of optical chirality in the near-field. We explore the angular dependence of such quantities f… Show more

“…In contrast, the cubature methods used in this work have predetermined nodes and weights, regardless of the integrand's angular profile. The advantage is expected to be highest for sharply-defined angular properties, as exhibited by large elongated nanostructures supporting collective modes with well-defined momentum 40 . We tested briefly some adaptive cubature methods 61,62 , and did not observe a better performance on the above examples compared to Levedev, spherical t-design, or Gauß-Legendre cubatures.…”

“…Indeed, averaging the response along x, y, z axes is a commonly-used procedure for orientation-averaging in this regime 10 . Larger particles and/or clusters of particles may however show very directional responses, such as the photonic jet effect in large Mie scatterers 41 , or waveguide modes along chains of particles 40 or dielectric particles with a high aspect ratio 42 .…”

“…• Orientation-averaged far-field properties can be obtained at very little computational cost, with analytical formulae 21,[36][37][38][39] . Orientationaveraged near-field quantities can also be computed 15,22 , albeit with some computational overhead, providing analytical benchmark results 40 .…”
