We present a comprehensive overview of chirality and its optical manifestation in plasmonic
nanosystems and nanostructures. We discuss top-down fabricated structures that range from …

Chirality is a universal geometric property in both micro‐and macroworlds. Recently, optical
chiral effects have drawn increased attention due to their great potential in fundamental …

One of the most intuitive ways to classically understand the generation of natural optical
activity in chiral media is provided by the coupled oscillator model of Born and Kuhn …

By relying on an advanced Jones calculus, we analyze the polarization properties of light
upon propagation through metamaterial slabs in a comprehensive manner. Based on …

We experimentally demonstrate a three-dimensional chiral optical metamaterial that exhibits
an asymmetric transmission for forwardly and backwardly propagating linearly polarized …

Light can exert radiation pressure on any object it encounters and that resulting optical force
can be used to manipulate particles. It is commonly assumed that light should move a …

The nanoscaling of metamaterial structures represents a technological challenge toward
their application in the optical frequency range. In this work we demonstrate tailored chiro …

Plasmonic nanostructures can generate electromagnetic fields with high optical chirality that
interact strongly with chiral molecules. We demonstrate how structures with chiral …

Nanophotonic chiral sensing has recently attracted a lot of attention. The idea is to exploit
the strong light–matter interaction in nanophotonic resonators to determine the …

We introduce a top-down fabricated metamaterial composed of three-dimensional, chiral,
plasmonic nanostructures for visible and near-infrared wavelengths. Based on a combined …
