Topologically protected chiral sensing using Synthetic Chiral Light

Gefei Li, Justas Terentjevas, Yong Zhang +13

Chirality underlies molecular function in living matter, yet its optical detection remains challenging because conventional chiroptical spectroscopies rely on weak corrections to t…

Ultrafast control over chiral sum-frequency generation

Josh Vogwell, Laura Rego, Olga Smirnova +1

We introduce an ultrafast all-optical approach for efficient chiral recognition which relies on the interference between two low-order nonlinear processes which are ubiquitous in n…

Chiral topological light for detecting robust enantio-sensitive observables

Nicola Mayer, David Ayuso, Piero Decleva +4

The topological response of matter to electromagnetic fields is a property in high demand in materials design and metrology due to its robustness against noise and decoherence, sti…

Tilting light's polarization plane to spatially separate the nonlinear optical response of chiral molecules on ultrafast timescales

Laura Rego, David Ayuso

Distinguishing between the left- and right-handed versions of a chiral molecule (enantiomers) is vital, but also inherently difficult. Traditional optical methods using ellipticall…

Structuring the local handedness of synthetic chiral light: global chirality versus polarization of chirality

Laura Rego, David Ayuso

Synthetic chiral light enables ultrafast and highly efficient imaging of molecular chirality. Unlike standard circularly polarized light, the handedness of synthetic chiral light d…

Ultrafast chirality: the road to efficient chiral measurements

David Ayuso, Andres F. Ordonez, Olga Smirnova

Today we are witnessing the electric-dipole revolution in chiral measurements. Here we reflect on its lessons and outcomes, such as the perspective on chiral measurements using the…
