Biosignatures of the Earth I. Airborne spectropolarimetric detection of photosynthetic life

C. H. Lucas Patty, Jonas G. Kühn, Petar H. Lambrev +10

Context. Homochirality is a generic and unique property of life on Earth and is considered a universal and agnostic biosignature. Homochirality induces fractional circular polariza…

Design of the Life Signature Detection Polarimeter LSDpol

Christoph U. Keller, Frans Snik, C. H. Lucas Patty +11

Many biologically produced chiral molecules such as amino acids and sugars show a preference for left or right handedness (homochirality). Light reflected by biological materials s…
