Terahertz spin-selective perfect absorption enabled by quasi-bound states in the continuum

Zhonglei Shen et al.

Summary: A terahertz chiral metasurface with a single-layer structure is proposed and demonstrated numerically based on a stereoscopic full metallic resonator array in this work. By using a coupled-mode theory, it is shown that the chiral metasurface can exhibit near-perfect absorption of one circularly polarized wave and non-resonant reflection of its counterparts in the quasi-bound states in the continuum-induced critical coupling region. The linewidths and handedness of the chiral metasurface can be flexibly controlled by an in-plane symmetry perturbation.

Multidimensional nanoscopic chiroptics

Yang Chen et al.

Summary: Nanoscopic chiroptics studies spin-dependent asymmetric light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, with asymmetry stemming from intrinsic properties of materials, structures, or light. With the advent of low-dimensional materials platforms, nanoscopic chiroptics has expanded from far field to near field, and across spatial, momentum, and integrated spatial-momentum dimensions, revealing new physical mechanisms and applications related to chiral effects.

Nanophotonic Approaches for Chirality Sensing

Lauren A. Warning et al.

Summary: Chiral nanophotonic materials are promising for biosensing applications due to their ability to focus light into nanometer dimensions, increasing sensitivity. Recent advances in nanomaterial-enhanced chirality sensing have achieved detection limits as low as attomolar concentrations, showing potential for pharmaceutical, forensic, and medical applications requiring high sensitivity. The review covers the development and application of chiral nanomaterials for detecting biomolecules, supramolecular structures, and environmental stimuli, as well as discussing future prospects for nanophotonic chiral systems.

Chiral Quasi-Bound States in the Continuum

Adam Overvig et al.

Summary: The study introduces quasi-bound states in the continuum (QBICs) born of chiral perturbations, encoding arbitrary elliptical polarization states and enabling geometric phase engineering. Metasurfaces with ultrasharp spectral features are designed as a result, shaping impinging wave fronts with near-unity efficiency. The findings extend Fano resonances beyond their conventional limits, opening opportunities for nanophotonics, classical and quantum optics, and acoustics.

Observation of Giant Extrinsic Chirality Empowered by Quasi-Bound States in the Continuum

Jiaju Wu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates giant extrinsic chirality in achiral metasurfaces by breaking the mirror symmetry of the system. The transmittance of two different polarization states and the signs of circular dichroism can be controlled by tilting the metasurface plane. Additionally, an application of polarization-multiplexed-field image display assisted by chiral quasi-BICs is shown.

Phase-change metasurface with tunable and switchable circular dichroism

Chuanchuan Ding et al.

Summary: Metasurfaces with tunable/switchable circular dichroism (CD) response have the potential to be important elements for advanced applications. By integrating periodic Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) resonators, a metasurface absorber with reconfigurable CD effect can achieve a strong CD of about 0.75 and linear modification of CD strength from 0.03 to 0.75. Controlling the states of left- and right-hand GST resonators enables reversible chirality of the metasurface absorber, allowing the CD signal to be easily switched between on-, off-, and reverse-states.

Circularly Polarized Emission from Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskites via Chiral Fano Resonances

In Cheol Seo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a significant enhancement of circularly polarized emission at the narrow mode position of chiral Fano resonances. The design achieved a high DCP at room temperature without direct patterning of the perovskite layer. Reciprocity calculation revealed that chiral field enhancement enabled emission of opposite helicity to couple into counter-propagating slab modes, resulting in a large DCP.

Bound States in the Continuum Underpin Near-Lossless Maximum Chirality in Dielectric Metasurfaces

Maxim V. Gorkunov et al.

Summary: The study shows that metasurfaces without mirror symmetry can exhibit chiral electromagnetic response, outperforming rotationally symmetric counterparts to achieve near-lossless maximum chirality. By employing high-quality-factor resonances and a special type of BICs, the coupling of light with resonant metasurfaces can be engineered to achieve maximum chirality. Proof-of-concept experimental results confirm the prediction of maximum chiral response of the BIC-empowered asymmetric resonant dielectric metasurfaces.
