The near-field interaction of plasmonic nanostructures and chiral molecules induces circular dichroism in achiral nanostructure. The induced circular dichroism (ICD) strength is several orders greater than the molecular inherent CD (MCD),…

Chirality is at the origin of life and is ubiquitous in nature. An object is deemed chiral if it is non-superimposable with its own mirror image. This relates to how circularly polarized light interacts with such object, a circular…

Attosecond science is an emerging topic where chirality plays a central role. Here we demonstrate subjecting iodoacetylene, a geometrically achiral molecule, to a pair of simulated non-ionizing ultrafast circularly polarized laser pulses at…

Angular distribution of photoelectrons released by the ionization of randomly-oriented molecules with two laser fields of carrier frequencies $\omega$ and $2\omega$, which are linearly polarized in two mutually-orthogonal directions, is…

Circular polarization spectroscopy has proven to be an indispensable tool in photosynthesis research and (bio)-molecular research in general. Oxygenic photosystems typically display an asymmetric Cotton effect around the chlorophyll…

Molecular chirality plays fundamental roles in biology. The chiral response of a molecule occurs at a specific spectral position, determined by its molecular structure. This fingerprint can be transferred to other spectral regions via the…

Phase-shaped electron energy-loss spectroscopy (PSEELS) measures the scattering probability of structured free electron beams by a target. Over the last decade, it was shown that this scheme can be employed to emulate polarized optical…

We propose a chiral imaging modality based on optical chirality engineering, fluorescence-detected circular dichroism and structured illumination microscopy. In this method, the optical chirality of the illumination is structured and the…

Chiral objects rotate when placed in a collimated flow or wind. We exploit this hydrodynamic intuition to construct a tensorial chirality measure for rigid filaments and curves. This tensor is trace-free, so if a curve has a right-handed…
