Chiral Vector Beams for Topological Enantio-Sensitive Imaging
A. Rodriguez, J. Edginton, A. Löhr +7
Molecular chiral discrimination is vital across chemistry and life sciences, yet optical approaches remain highly inefficient for small organic molecules. Here we turn vector beams…
Photonic architectures for synthetic chiral light-driven chiral sensing
Alexander Löhr, Justas Terentjevas, Patricia Vindel-Zandbergen +6
Molecular chirality gives rise to left- and right-handed enantiomers whose balance underpins biochemical function. Deviations from this enantiomeric excess are promising biomarkers…
Ultrafast chiral sensing with an ultraviolet vector beam
Aude Rodriguez, Laura Rego
We present a robust, ultrafast and highly efficient setup for distinguishing molecular enantiomers by combining ultrafast techniques with vector beams, a type of topological light…
A beat wave approach to harmonic generation in chiral media
Raoul Trines, Holger Schmitz, Robert Bingham +4
We extend the beat-wave framework for laser harmonic generation - where spectra form regular lattices in Fourier space - to the nonlinear response of isotropic chiral media driven…
Ultrafast TACOS -- Terahertz-Assisted Chiro-Optical Spectroscopy
Justas Terentjevas, Patricia Vindel-Zandbergen, Laura Rego +4
We bring together the advantages of terahertz (THz) and optical spectroscopies to introduce TACOS (Terahertz-Assisted Chiro-Optical Spectroscopy), a novel approach for ultrafast an…
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…
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…
Efficient generation of high-order harmonics in gases
R. Weissenbilder, S. Carlström, L. Rego +6
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases leads to short-pulse extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation useful in a number of applications, for example, attosecond science and nanos…
Necklace-structured high harmonic generation for low-divergence, soft X-ray harmonic combs with tunable line spacing
Laura Rego, Nathan J. Brooks, Quynh L. D. Nguyen +6
The extreme nonlinear optical process of high-harmonic generation (HHG) makes it possible to map the properties of a laser beam onto a radiating electron wavefunction, and in turn,…
Light with a self-torque: extreme-ultraviolet beams with time-varying orbital angular momentum
Laura Rego, Kevin M. Dorney, Nathan J. Brooks +11
Twisted light fields carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) provide powerful capabilities for applications in optical communications, microscopy, quantum optics and microparticle…
Conservation of torus-knot angular momentum in high-order harmonic generation
Emilio Pisanty, Laura Rego, Julio San Román +7
High-order harmonic generation stands as a unique nonlinear optical up-conversion process, mediated by a laser-driven electron recollision mechanism, which has been shown to conser…
