Throughout the 19th and 20th century, chirality has mostly been associated with chemistry.
However, while chirality can be very useful for understanding molecules, molecules are not …

Understanding the chiral mechanism of chiral hybrid perovskites is a prerequisite for
developing relevant chiroptoelectronic applications. Although conventional circular …

We provide evidence that the chirality of collagen can give rise to strong second-harmonic
generation circular dichroism (SHG-CD) responses in nonlinear microscopy. Although …

Microscopic techniques based on nonlinear optical processes provide alternative ways to
visualize natural and artificial nanoscopic systems with minimum disturbance. In such …

Nonlinear optical properties of collagen type-I are investigated in thin tissue sections of pig
tendon as a research model using a complete polarimetric second-harmonic generation (P …

We perform second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy with circularly polarized (CP)
light to measure chirality of individual twisted-cross gold nanodimers. The chiral signatures …

A molecule, molecular aggregate, or protein that cannot be superimposed on its mirror
image presents chirality. Most living systems are organized by chiral building blocks, such …

We present a versatile, non-interferometric method for generating vector fields and vector
beams which can produce all the states of polarization represented on a higher-order …

We present a methodology based on polarization-controlled second-harmonic generation
microscopy that allows one to determine the point group symmetry of noncentrosymmetric …

Chirality is one of the most fundamental and essential structural properties of biological
molecules. Many important biological molecules including amino acids and polysaccharides …
