Interest in the multiple facets of optical vortices has flourished in the last three decades. This
review examines the basic research and applications of the interplay between optical …

Conspectus Chirality in Nature can be found across all length scales, from the subatomic to
the galactic. At the molecular scale, the spatial dissymmetry in the atomic arrangements of …

Unlike conventional optics, plasmonics enables unrivaled concentration of optical energy
well beyond the diffraction limit of light. However, a significant part of this energy is …

Chirality plays an essential role in life, providing unique functionalities to a wide range of
biomolecules, chemicals, and drugs, which makes chiral sensing and analysis critically …

Nonreciprocity and nonreciprocal optical devices play a vital role in modern photonic
technologies by enforcing one-way propagation of light. Here, we demonstrate an all-optical …

Detection and differentiation of enantiomers in small quantities are crucially important in
many scientific fields, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacy. Chiral molecules manifest …

Mie scattering is increasingly exploited to manipulate electromagnetic fields to achieve
strong resonant enhancement, to obtain perfect absorption of radiation, and to generate …

The size parameter q= 2π R/λ in spheres with a radius R=(2–3) λ (λ is the radiation
wavelength) is on the order of 10. Strong Mie resonances () are observed in these …

Chiral optical effects are generally quantified along some specific incident directions of
exciting waves (especially for extrinsic chiralities of achiral structures) or defined as direction …

Although numerous natural materials exhibit chiral optical phenomena, they are typically
very weak. Chiral nanophotonic structures can significantly enhance the chiroptical …
