We review the physics and some applications of photonic structures designed for the
realization of strong nonlinear chiroptical response. We pay much attention to the recent …

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 …

Giant chiroptical responses routinely occur in three dimensional chiral metamaterials (MMs),
but their resonance elements with complex subwavelength chiral shapes are challenging to …

Metamaterials and metasurfaces provide a paradigm-changing approach for manipulating
light. Their potential has been evinced by recent demonstrations of chiral responses much …

Here we report the experimental observation of circular dichroism in the second-harmonic
field<? format?>(800–400 nm conversion) generated by self-organized gold nanowire …

It is possible to obtain an optical response from metasurfaces that exhibit second-order
circular dichroism, thanks to the recent successes in nanotechnology, opening the way to …

Nonlinear chiral photonics explores the nonlinear response of chiral structures, and it offers
a pathway to novel optical functionalities not accessible through linear or achiral systems …

Circularly polarized (CP) light may play key roles in the migration and delocalization of
photoexcited energy in optically active macroscopic aggregates of chiral chlorophylls …

We present a theoretical study of circular dichroism in the second-harmonic signal of single
dielectric nanostructures with different symmetries and noncentrosymmetric materials. We …

Extrinsic or pseudo-chiral (meta) surfaces have an achiral structure, yet they can give rise to
circular dichroism when the experiment itself becomes chiral. Although these surfaces are …
