Spin-Polarized Photon Emission by Resonant Multipolar Nanoantennas
Abstract
We demonstrate nanoscale spin control of photons emitted by an atomic system coupled to a compact plasmonic nanoantenna supporting phase-locked interference of different multipolar moments within a single resonance. Experimentally we observe chiral light emission from quantum dots over split-ring resonant nanoantennas, where the spin of the emitted photons is locked to their transverse momentum. We demonstrate that the polarization can vary from linear to elliptical with ellipticity reaching ±0.5 for emission into opposite halves of the symmetry plane of the nanoantenna.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
