Abstract

Abstract The magic angle of Twistronics has attracted a lot of attention because of its peculiar electrical characteristics. Moiré patterns formed by the superlattice of a twisted bilayer change overall physical properties. Circular dichroism can also be manipulated through the generated moiré pattern. Here, we report a polymer-based twisted bilayer meta-device fabricated by multilayer nanoimprint technology and study the magic angle of chirality. The superlattice of the bilayer meta-device creates moiré patterns and brings unique chiral optical responses. The bilayer nanoimprint technology is developed for metasurfaces with relative twist angles. Via the twist angle control, polymer materials with a low refractive index can manipulate the electric field of the light and reveal the chiral magic angle. Moreover, the shape of the meta-atoms plays a key role in chiral magic angle tuning. The chirality engineering by the reported nanoimprint technology and chiral meta-devices may contribute to applications in chiral imaging, biomedical sensing, lasing, and tunable optical devices.
