Circular dichroism (CD) is an intriguing chiroptical phenomenon associated with the interaction of chiral structures with circularly polarized lights. Although the CD effect has been extensively studied in optics, it has not yet been…
Structured light enables the characterization of chirality of optically small nanoparticles by taking advantage of the helicity maximization concept recently introduced in[1]. By referring to fields with nonzero helicity density as chiral…
DNA and proteins are chiral: their three-dimensional structure cannot be superimposed with its mirror image. Circular dichroism spectroscopy is widely used to characterize chiral compounds, but data interpretation is difficult in the case…

Optical chirality density is a measure of the local handedness of electromagnetic fields. Like energy density, it may be absorbed or scattered through the interaction between light and matter. Here, we utilize the conservation of optical…
The practical applications of chiral discrimination are usually limited by the weak chiral response of enantiomers and the high complexity of detection methods. Here, we propose to use the C lines (i.e., lines of polarization singularities)…

Due to the mirror symmetry breaking, chiral structures show fantastic electromagnetic (EM) properties involving negative refraction, giant optical activity, and asymmetric transmission. Aligned electric and magnetic dipoles excited in…
Chiroptical responses in atomic systems are usually weak, as they arise from the interference between electric- and much weaker magnetic-dipole transitions. We show that atoms arranged in chiral geometries can instead exhibit a strong…
