[摘要]：Chiroptical effects are routinely observed in three dimensional objects lacking mirror symmetry or quasi-two-dimensional thin films lacking in-plane mirror symmetry. Here we show that symmetric plasmonic planar arrays of circular nanoholes produced strong chiroptical responses at visible wavelengths on tilting them with respect to the incident light beam due to the collective asymmetric nature of their surface plasmon excitations. This extrinsic chiroptical effect can be stronger than the local chiroptical response in arrays of intrinsically chiral nanoholes and may be useful for chiral sensing and negative refraction.
