Plasmonic sensing is an established technology for real-time biomedical diagnostics and air-quality monitoring. While intensity and wavelength tracking are the most commonly used interrogation methods for Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR),…
Distinct selectivity to the spin angular momenta of photons have garnered significant attention in recent years, for their relevance in basic science and for imaging and sensing applications. While nonlocal metasurfaces with strong chiral…
Chirality is a concept that one object is not superimposable on its mirror image by translation and rotation. In particular, chiral plasmonics have been widely investigated due to their excellent optical chiral properties, and have led to…
Plasmonic chirality exhibits great potential for novel nanooptical devices due to the generation of a strong chiroptical response. Previous reports on plasmonic chirality explanations are mainly based on phase retardation and coupling. We…
Chirality discrimination is of a fundamental interest in biology, chemistry, and metamaterial studies. In optics, near-field plasmon-resonance spectroscopy with superchiral probing fields is effectively applicable for analyses of large…
Label-free observation of nanoparticles by far-field optical microscopy is challenging because their ability to scatter or absorb light dramatically diminishes with decreasing size. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surface…
Various metals (Ag, Al, Au, Bi, Cu), polymers (polyvinylpyrrolidone, polystyrene), and electrically conductive polymers (polyacetylene, polyaniline, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate) were subjected to a particle swarm…
Optical chirality density is widely used as a scalar measure of the chiral properties of electromagnetic fields and their interaction with matter. However, in anisotropic and structured media, a single scalar quantity is generally…
Fine control of the chiral light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, by exploiting designed metamaterial architecture, represents a cutting-edge craft in the field of biosensing, quantum and classic nanophotonics. Recently, artificially…
Light is one of the most powerful and precise tools allowing us to control, shape and create new phases of matter. In this task, the magnetic component of a light wave has so far played a unique role in defining the wave's helicity, but its…
Light waves possess multiple degrees of freedom besides intensity, including phase and polarization, that often contain important information but require complex and bulky systems for their measurement. Here we report a pair of compact…
Molecular chirality plays an important role in chemistry and biology, allows control of biological interactions, affects drugs efficacy and safety, and promotes synthesis of new materials. In general, chirality manifests itself in optical…
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…
Circular Dichroism (CD) can distinguish the handedness of chiral molecules. However, it is typically very weak due to vanishing absorption at low molecular concentrations. Here, we suggest Thermal Circular Dichroism (TCD) for chiral…
We propose a method to perform a configuration determination for chiral and/or polar crystals by utilizing anisotropy of NMR shift. The chirality (handedness) or polarity of a crystal, that is characterized by its sign, can be extracted…
We have built and tested a compact, low-cost, but very-high-performance astronomical polarimeter based on a continuously rotating half-wave plate and a high-speed imaging detector. The polarimeter is suitable for small telescopes up to ~1 m…
In this work, an innovative scheme is proposed that exploits the response of magnetized plasmas to realize a refractive index exceeding unity for right circularly polarized (RCP) waves. Using two- and three-dimensional Particle-in-Cell…
Chiral phonons have attracted significant attention due to their potential applications in spintronics, superconductivity, and advanced materials, but their detection has predominantly relied on indirect photon-involved processes. Here, we…
Chirality is a fundamental symmetry concept describing discrete states, i.e., left-handed, right-handed, or achiral, and existing at disparate scales and in many categories of scientific fields. Even though symmetry breaking is…
We introduce a microscopy technique that facilitates the prediction of spatial features of chirality of nanoscale samples by exploiting photo-induced optical force exerted on an achiral tip in the vicinity of the test specimen. The…
