Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The unique property of chirality is widely used in various fields. In the past few decades, a great deal of research has been conducted on the interactions between light and matter, resulting in significant technical advancements in the precise manipulation of light field wavefronts. In this review, which focuses on current chiral optics research, we introduce the fundamental theory of chirality and highlight the latest achievements in enhancing chiral signals through artificial nano-manufacturing technology, with a particular focus on mechanisms such as light scattering and Mie resonance used to amplify chiral signals. By providing an overview of enhanced chiral signals, this review aims to provide researchers with an in-depth understanding of chiral phenomena and its versatile applications in various domains.
