Chiral optical forces in a slot waveguide for separation of molecules in gas
Josep Martínez-Romeu, Daniel Arenas-Ortega, Iago Diez +1
Chiral optical forces present an exciting avenue into the separation of enantiomers in an all-optical fashion. In this work, we explore via numerical simulations and analytical cal…
Longitudinal chiral forces in photonic integrated waveguides to separate particles with realistically small chirality
Josep Martínez-Romeu, Iago Diez, Sebastian Golat +2
Chiral optical forces exhibit opposite signs for the two enantiomeric versions of a chiral molecule or particle. If large enough, these forces might be able to separate enantiomers…
Chiral forces in longitudinally invariant dielectric photonic waveguides
Josep Martínez-Romeu, Iago Díez, Sebastian Golat +2
Optical forces can be chiral when they exhibit opposite signs for the two enantiomeric versions of a chiral molecule or particle. Such forces could be eventually used to separate e…
Optical chiral sorting forces and their manifestation in evanescent waves and nanofibres
Sebastian Golat, Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Iago Diez +3
Optical fields can exert forces of chiral nature on molecules and nanoparticles, which would prove extremely valuable in the separation of enantiomers with pharmaceutical applicati…
