A chiral near field with a highly contorted electromagnetic field builds a bridge to match the chiral molecules and light wavelengths with large size differences. It significantly enhances the circular dichroism of chiral molecules and has…
Light scattering from chiral plasmonic structures can create near fields with an asymmetry greater than the equivalent circularly polarised light, a property sometimes referred to as superchirality. These near fields with enhanced chiral…
Superchiral field is highly important for ultrasensitive detection of chiral objects and has been intensively explored. Despite the progress, the construction of electromagnetic field in achiral nanostructures with giant chirality (C) is…
Chiral near fields possessing enhanced asymmetry (superchirality), created by the interaction of light with (chiral) nanostructures, potentially provide a route to novel sensing and metrology technologies for biophysical applications.…
Nanophotonic platforms in theory uniquely enable < femtomoles of chiral biological and pharmaceutical molecules to be detected, through the highly localised changes in the chiral asymmetries of the near-fields that they induce. However,…
A simple yet effective achiral platform using elliptical nanoholes for chiroptical analysis is demonstrated. Under linearly polarized excitation, an elliptical nanohole in a thin gold film can generate a localized chiral optical field for…
When circularly polarized light interacts with a nanostructure, the optical response depends on the geometry of the structure. If the nanostructure is chiral (i.e., it cannot be superimposed on its mirror image), then its optical response,…
The interaction between chiral molecules and circularly polarized light is largely influenced by the local optical chirality density. This interaction prompts substantial demand of the design of nanophotonic platforms capable of enhancing…
We present a comprehensive overview of chirality and its optical manifestation in plasmonic nanosystems and nanostructures. We discuss top-down fabricated structures that range from solid metallic nanostructures to groupings of metallic…
In the close vicinity of a chiral nanostructure, the circular dichroism of a biomolecule could be greatly enhanced, due to the interaction with the local superchiral fields. Modest enhancement of optical activity using a planar…
The use of biomaterials - with techniques such as DNA-directed assembly or bio-directed synthesis - can surpass top-down fabrication techniques in creating plasmonic superstructures, in terms of spatial resolution, range of functionality…
We investigate how the near-field enhancement of self-similar nanolenses, made of three plasmonic nanospheres with decreasing sizes and separations, is affected by quantum corrections in the optical response of the metal, and by fabrication…
Dark-field illumination is shown to make planar chiral nanoparticle arrangements exhibit circular dichroism in extinction analogous to true chiral scatterers. Circular dichrosim is experimentally observed at the maximum scattering of single…
The detection and discrimination of molecular chirality are essential for advancing pharmaceutical and biological applications. While nanophotonic platforms offer a route to enhance chiral light-matter interactions, existing device concepts…
We present a comprehensive review of recent developments in the field of chiral plasmonics. Significant advances have been made recently in understanding the working principles of chiral plasmonic structures. With advances in micro- and…
Designing broadband enhanced chirality is of strong interest to the emerging fields of chiral chemistry and sensing, or to control the spin orbital momentum of photons in recently introduced nanophotonic chiral quantum and classical optical…
Plasmonic antennas with helical geometry are capable transducers between linearly polarized dipole emission and purely circular polarized far-fields. Besides large Purcell enhancements they possess a wide tunability due to the geometry…
Plasmonic fields are usually considered non-chiral because of the transverse magnetic polarization of surface plasmon modes. We however show here that an optical lattice created from the intersection of two coherent surface plasmons…
Chiral materials display a property called optical activity, which is the capability to interact differentially with left and right circularly polarised light. This leads to the ability to manipulate the polarisation state of light, which…
Strong light-matter coupling in chiral cavities has been proposed as an effective way to selectively interact with an enantiomer that shares the same handedness as the cavity's chiral mode. We show that surface plasmons supported by a…
