Abstract
Quantitative determination and in situ monitoring of molecular chirality at extremely low concentrations is still challenging with simple optics because of the molecular-scale mismatch with the incident light wavelength. Advances in spectroscopy1-4 and nanophotonics have successfully lowered the detection limit in enantioselective sensing, as it can bring the microscopic chiral characteristics of molecules into the macroscopic scale5-7 or squeeze the chiral light into the subwavelength scale8-17. Conventional nanophotonic approaches depend mainly on the optical helicity density8,9 by localized resonances within an individual structure, such as localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs)10-16 or dielectric Mie resonances17. These approaches use the local chiral hotspots in the immediate vicinity of the structure, whereas the handedness of these hotspots varies spatially. As such, these localized resonance modes tend to be error-prone to the stochasticity of the target molecular orientations, vibrations and local concentrations18,19. Here we identified enantioselective characteristics of collective resonances (CRs)20 arising from assembled 2D crystals of isotropic, 432-symmetric chiral gold nanoparticles (helicoids)21,22. The CRs exhibit a strong and uniform chiral near field over a large volume above the 2D crystal plane, resulting from the collectively spinning, optically induced dipoles at each helicoid. Thus, energy redistribution by molecular back action on the chiral near field shifts the CRs in opposite directions, depending on the handedness of the analyte, maximizing the modulation of the collective circular dichroism (CD).

Abstract
Since chirality is a fundamental building block of nature, the identification of the chiral specimen's structure is of great interest, especially in applications involving the modification and utilization of proteins. In this work, by exploiting photoinduced force exerted on an achiral tip placed in the vicinity of a reciprocal chiral sample, a novel technique is proposed to detect the sample's chirality in nanoscale spatial resolution. Under separate excitation of focal field carrying chiral dipole moment with opposite handedness, there is a differential optical force ΔF exerted on the tip apex, which is connected to the enantiomer type and quasi-linearly depends on specific component of the sample's chirality parameter. With the help of time-reversal approach, we prove that the required excitation can be derived by radiation fields from the superposition of parallel electric and magnetic dipoles. Through adjusting the orientation of the chiral dipole moment, all the diagonal components of the sample's chirality can be exclusively retrieved. In addition, the sensitivity of the proposed technique is demonstrated to enantiospecify nanoscale chiral samples with chirality parameter on the order of 0.001. The proposed technique may open new avenue for wide applications in biomedicine, material science and pharmaceutics.

Abstract
Programmable chiral biocatalysis represents a promising therapeutic strategy for its high stereospecific control over various biotransformations (e.g., chiral Aβ isomerization) of living entities yet is rarely explored. With an extraordinary resistance to nuclease digestion, the non-natural left-handed deoxyribozyme (l-DNAzyme) therapy is constrained by inefficient delivery/release and insufficient cofactors supply. Herein, an efficient adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-stimulated disassembly of l-histidine (l-His)-integrated ZIF-8 (l-His-ZIF-8) is reported for sustaining the l-DNAzyme-amplified photodynamic therapy. This self-sufficient l-therapeutic platform can intelligently release the l-DNAzyme probe and simultaneously supply l-His DNAzyme cofactors via endogenous ATP. Then, the intrinsic microRNA-21 catalyzes the generation of robust l-DNAzyme via the catalytic hybridization reaction for activating the photosensitizer with multiplied guaranteed therapeutic operation. This l-therapeutic strategy opens up great prospects for more precise diagnosis and customized gene silencing-based therapy.

Abstract
Recently, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for metasurface design has received increased attention for its excellent decision-making ability in complex problems. However, time-consuming numerical simulation has hindered the adoption of DRL-based design method. Here we apply the Deep learning-based virtual Environment Proximal Policy Optimization (DE-PPO) method to design the 3D chiral plasmonic metasurfaces for flexible targets and model the metasurface design process as a Markov decision process to help the training. A well trained DRL agent designs chiral metasurfaces that exhibit the optimal absolute circular dichroism value (typically, ∼ 0.4) at various target wavelengths such as 930 nm, 1000 nm, 1035 nm, and 1100 nm with great time efficiency. Besides, the training process of the PPO agent is exceptionally fast with the help of the deep neural network (DNN) auxiliary virtual environment. Also, this method changes all variable parameters of nanostructures simultaneously, reducing the size of the action vector and thus the output size of the DNN. Our proposed approach could find applications in efficient and intelligent design of nanophotonic devices.

Abstract
Molecular plasmonics, the area which deals with the interactions between surface plasmons and molecules, has received enormous interest in fundamental research and found numerous technological applications. Plasmonic metamaterials, which offer rich opportunities to control the light intensity, field polarization, and local density of electromagnetic states on subwavelength scales, provide a versatile platform to enhance and tune light-molecule interactions. A variety of applications, including spontaneous emission enhancement, optical modulation, optical sensing, and photoactuated nanochemistry, have been reported by exploiting molecular interactions with plasmonic metamaterials. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the developments of molecular plasmonics with metamaterials. After a brief introduction to the optical properties of plasmonic metamaterials and relevant fabrication approaches, we discuss light-molecule interactions in plasmonic metamaterials in both weak and strong coupling regimes. We then highlight the exploitation of molecules in metamaterials for applications ranging from emission control and optical modulation to optical sensing. The role of hot carriers generated in metamaterials for nanochemistry is also discussed. Perspectives on the future development of molecular plasmonics with metamaterials conclude the review. The use of molecules in combination with designer metamaterials provides a rich playground both to actively control metamaterials using molecular interactions and, in turn, to use metamaterials to control molecular processes.

Abstract
Actively controlling the polarization states of terahertz (THz) waves is essential for polarization-sensitive spectroscopy, which has various applications in anisotropy imaging, noncontact Hall measurement, and vibrational circular dichroism. In the THz regime, the lack of a polarization modulator hinders the development of this spectroscopy. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that conjugated bilayer chiral metamaterials (CMMs) integrated with Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST225) active components can achieve nonvolatile and continuously tunable optical activity in the THz region. A THz time-domain spectroscopic system was used to characterize the device, showing a tunable ellipticity (from ‒36° to 0°) and rotation of the plane polarization (from 32° to 0°) at approximately 0.73 THz by varying the GST225 state from amorphous (AM) to crystalline (CR). Moreover, a continuously tunable chiroptical response was experimentally observed by partially crystallizing the GST225, which can create intermediate states, having regions of both AM and CR states. Note that the GST225 has an advantage of nonvolatility over the other active elements and does not require any energy to retain its structural state. Our work allows the development of THz metadevices capable of actively manipulating the polarization of THz waves and may find applications for dynamically tunable THz circular polarizers and polarization modulators for THz emissions.

Abstract
Resonant plasmonic-molecular chiral interactions are a promising route to enhanced biosensing. However, biomolecular optical activity primarily exists in the far-ultraviolet regime, posing significant challenges for spectral overlap with current nano-optical platforms. We demonstrate experimentally and computationally the enhanced chiral sensing of a resonant plasmonic-biomolecular system operating in the far-UV. We develop a full-wave model of biomolecular films on Al gammadion arrays using experimentally derived chirality parameters. Our calculations show that detectable enhancements in the chiroptical signals from small amounts of biomolecules are possible only when tight spectral overlap exists between the plasmonic and biomolecular chiral responses. We support this conclusion experimentally by using Al gammadion arrays to enantiomerically discriminate ultrathin (<10 nm thick) films of tyrosine. Notably, the chiroptical signals of the bare films were within instrumental noise. Our results demonstrate the importance of using far-UV active metasurfaces for enhancing natural optical activity.

Abstract
Chiral metasurfaces can exhibit a strong circular dichroism, but it is limited by the complicated fabrication procedure and alignment errors. Here, a new type of self-aligned suspended chiral bilayer metasurface with only one-step electron beam lithography exposure is demonstrated. A significant optical chirality of 221° µm-1 can be realized using suspended metasurfaces with a thickness of 100 nm. Furthermore, this study experimentally demonstrates that such a structure is capable of label-free discrimination of the chiral molecules at zeptomole level, exhibiting a much higher sensitivity (orders of magnitude) compared to the conventional circular dichroism spectroscopy. The fundamental principles for chiral sensing using molecules-metasurfaces interactions are explored. Benefiting from the giant chiroptical response, the proposed metadevice may offer promising applications for ultrathin circular polarizers, chiral molecular detectors, and asymmetry information processing.

Abstract
In this paper, a chiral excitation method based on the asymmetric interface condition is proposed. The chiral characteristics of the metamaterials are affected by the difference in the environmental parameters of the front and rear surfaces. Thus, the device can achieve functional reconfiguration and two applications based on this mechanism are presented, one for sensing and the other for chiral switching. At the same time, a self-calibration measurement method that greatly simplifies the sensing system is proposed. These results have potential applications in the fields of chirality excitation, bio-sensing, and reconfigurable device.

Abstract
In this paper, a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems)-based frequency-tunable metamaterial absorber for millimeter-wave application was demonstrated. To achieve the resonant-frequency tunability of the absorber, the unit cell of the proposed metamaterial was designed to be a symmetric split-ring resonator with a stress-induced MEMS cantilever array having initial out-of-plane deflections, and the cantilevers were electrostatically actuated to generate a capacitance change. The dimensional parameters of the absorber were determined via impedance matching using a full electromagnetic simulation. The designed absorber was fabricated on a glass wafer with surface micromachining processes using a photoresist sacrificial layer and the oxygen-plasma-ashing process to release the cantilevers. The performance of the fabricated absorber was experimentally validated using a waveguide measurement setup. The absorption frequency shifted down according to the applied DC (direct current) bias voltage from 28 GHz in the initial off state to 25.5 GHz in the pull-down state with the applied voltage of 15 V. The measured reflection coefficients at those frequencies were -5.68 dB and -33.60 dB, corresponding to the peak absorptivity rates of 72.9 and 99.9%, respectively.

Abstract
Chiral plasmonic nanostructures can generate large superchiral near fields owing to their intrinsic chirality, leveraging applications for molecule chirality sensing. However, the large structural chirality of chiral nanostructures poses the risk of overshadowing molecular chiral signals, hampering the practical application of chiral nanostructures. Herein, we propose an achiral nanorod that shows no structural chirality and presents strong superchiral near-fields with linearly polarized incidence. The mechanism of the strong superchiral near-field originates from the coupling between the evanescent fields of the localized surface plasmon resonance and incident light. The enhanced near-field optical chirality at the corners of the nanorods reached 25 at a wavelength of 790 nm. Meanwhile, the sign of optical chirality can be tuned by the polarization of the incident light, which provides a convenient way to control the handedness of the light. Furthermore, the enantiomers of D- and L-phenylalanine molecules were experimentally characterized using an achiral platform, which demonstrated a promising nanophotonic platform for chiral biomedical sensing.

Abstract
Amplitude-phase control for circular polarized (CP) waves is experiencing a research upsurge in electromagnetics owing to the kaleidoscopic electromagnetic responses and promising application prospects of circular polarizations, and chiral metasurfaces are more facile to achieve a series of intriguing chiral phenomena than natural materials. However, it is difficult for most existing chiral metasurfaces to independently tailor the amplitude and phase of left-handed circular polarized and right-handed circular polarized waves at the same frequency as they suffer the drawbacks of large thickness, multiple layers, and complex structure. Herein, an innovative strategy of single-layer achiral metasurfaces of thickness 0.13λ0 is proposed to independently and simultaneously manipulate the amplitude and phase of orthogonal CP waves. As a proof of concept, an amplitude and phase controlled dual-channel meta-hologram is designed to reconstruct diverse images with high fidelity under orthogonal CP illumination, and the simulated and experimental results collectively validate the availability of our methodology. Significantly, the meta-hologram is also applicable to full polarization states according to the decomposition of electromagnetic waves. The inspiring design of single-layer achiral metasurfaces provides a simple and effective approach to explore chiral effects, and they possess enormous application potential in multitudinous microwave devices.

Broadband Sound Insulation and Dual Equivalent Negative Properties of Acoustic Metamaterial with Distributed Piezoelectric Resonators. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15144907.

Abstract
Aiming at the unsatisfactory sound transmission loss (STL) of thin-plate structures in the low-mid frequency range, this paper proposes an acoustic insulation metamaterial with distributed piezoelectric resonators. A complete acoustic prediction model is established based on the effective medium method and classical plate theory, and the correctness is verified by the STL simulation results of the corresponding acoustic-structure fully coupled finite-element model. Moreover, the intrinsic relationship between the dual equivalent negative properties and STLs is investigated to reveal the insulation mechanisms of this metamaterial. Then, the influence of the geometric and material parameters on the double equivalent negative characteristics is studied to explore the broadband STL for distributed multi-modal resonant energy-dissipation modes in the frequency band of interest. The results show that the two acoustic insulation crests correspond to the dual equivalent negative performances, and the sound insulation in the low-mid frequency range is improved by more than 5 dB compared with that of the substrate, even up to 44.49 dB.

Chiral nanomaterials with intrinsic chirality or spatial asymmetry at the nanoscale are currently in the limelight of both fundamental research and diverse important technological applications due to their unprecedented physicochemical characteristics such as intense light-matter interactions, enhanced circular dichroism, and strong circularly polarized luminescence. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art advances in liquid crystal-templated chiral nanomaterials. The chiroptical properties of chiral nanomaterials are touched, and their fundamental design principles and bottom-up synthesis strategies are discussed. Different chiral functional nanomaterials based on liquid-crystalline soft templates, including chiral plasmonic nanomaterials and chiral luminescent nanomaterials, are systematically introduced, and their underlying mechanisms, properties, and potential applications are emphasized. This review concludes with a perspective on the emerging applications, challenges, and future opportunities of such fascinating chiral nanomaterials. This review can not only deepen our understanding of the fundamentals of soft-matter chirality, but also shine light on the development of advanced chiral functional nanomaterials toward their versatile applications in optics, biology, catalysis, electronics, and beyond.

Abstract
The circularly polarized light source is one of the keys to chiral photonic circuits and systems. However, it is difficult to integrate conventional light-emitting devices with circular polarization converters directly into compact chip-scale photonic systems partly because of their bulky structures. In this study, in situ optical chirality tunable nanorod trimer metasurfaces consisting of two types of nanorod dimers are demonstrated and integrated with a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate. The optical chirality variations originating from the tunable asymmetricity of nanorod trimers under different stretching scenarios are evaluated. Through the processes, the gap distances between nanorods are varied, and the degree of circular polarization of the transmitted wave is controlled through the manipulation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling. The results reveal the circular dichroism tunability and durability of fabricated chiral metasurfaces which can be important elements for chip-scale flexible optoelectronic integrated circuits for sensing, display and communication applications.

Abstract
The twist angle between a pair of stacked 2D materials has been recently shown to control remarkable phenomena, including the emergence of flat-band superconductivity in twisted graphene bilayers, of higher-order topological phases in twisted moiré superlattices, and of topological polaritons in twisted hyperbolic metasurfaces. These discoveries, at the foundations of the emergent field of twistronics, have so far been mostly limited to explorations in atomically thin condensed matter and photonic systems, with limitations on the degree of control over geometry and twist angle, and inherent challenges in the fabrication of carefully engineered stacked multilayers. Here, this work extends twistronics to widely reconfigurable macroscopic elastic metasurfaces consisting of LEGO pillar resonators. This work demonstrates highly tailored anisotropy over a single-layer metasurface driven by variations in the twist angle between a pair of interleaved spatially modulated pillar lattices. The resulting quasi-periodic moiré patterns support topological transitions in the isofrequency contours, leading to strong tunability of highly directional waves. The findings illustrate how the rich phenomena enabled by twistronics and moiré physics can be translated over a single-layer metasurface platform, introducing a practical route toward the observation of extreme phenomena in a variety of wave systems, potentially applicable to both quantum and classical settings without multilayered fabrication requirements.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in the study of chiral degrees of freedom occurring in matter and in electromagnetic fields. Opportunities in quantum sciences will likely exploit two main areas that are the focus of this Review: (1) recent observations of the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect in chiral molecules and engineered nanomaterials and (2) rapidly evolving nanophotonic strategies designed to amplify chiral light-matter interactions. On the one hand, the CISS effect underpins the observation that charge transport through nanoscopic chiral structures favors a particular electronic spin orientation, resulting in large room-temperature spin polarizations. Observations of the CISS effect suggest opportunities for spin control and for the design and fabrication of room-temperature quantum devices from the bottom up, with atomic-scale precision and molecular modularity. On the other hand, chiral-optical effects that depend on both spin- and orbital-angular momentum of photons could offer key advantages in all-optical and quantum information technologies. In particular, amplification of these chiral light-matter interactions using rationally designed plasmonic and dielectric nanomaterials provide approaches to manipulate light intensity, polarization, and phase in confined nanoscale geometries. Any technology that relies on optimal charge transport, or optical control and readout, including quantum devices for logic, sensing, and storage, may benefit from chiral quantum properties. These properties can be theoretically and experimentally investigated from a quantum information perspective, which has not yet been fully developed. There are uncharted implications for the quantum sciences once chiral couplings can be engineered to control the storage, transduction, and manipulation of quantum information. This forward-looking Review provides a survey of the experimental and theoretical fundamentals of chiral-influenced quantum effects and presents a vision for their possible future roles in enabling room-temperature quantum technologies.

Abstract
The phenomenon about optical activity has widespread applications in polarization optics, biosensing, and analytical chemistry. The optical activity in twisted graphene metasurface bilayers (TGMBs) is studied theoretically in this paper. It is found that the large circular dichroism (CD) value can be adjusted by various physical parameters of TGMBs such as separation distance, the voltage applied to metasurfaces, and twist angle. By adjusting the twist angle of TGMB, the shapes of the CD spectra, circular birefringence spectra, and ellipticity spectra can be manipulated in the broadband range. When the twisted bilayer metasurfaces are stacked with an ultrathin spacer, it is found that there might exist the strong optical activity responses near the rotated-σ-near-zero regime and topological transition σ-near-zero regime. The corresponding phenomena raise the prospect of tunable, compact, and on-chip terahertz devices with graphene metasurfaces based on optical activity.

Abstract
Enantioselectivity of chiral compounds is receiving growing concern. Lactofen, a chiral herbicide widely used in field crops and vegetables to control broadleaf weeds, is still sold as racemate. In this work, the herbicidal activity and metabolism behavior of lactofen were investigated on an enantiomeric level. Two common broadleaf weeds (Eclipta prostrata L. and Portulaca oleracea L.) were used to evaluate the herbicidal activity of rac-/R- and S-lactofen, and their metabolism behavior in loach and rat liver microsomes was explored. Higher herbicidal activity of S-lactofen was observed, with the 20d-EC50 values being 1.9-3.4 times lower than R-lactofen. Both loach and rat liver microsomes had ability to metabolize rac-lactofen, with half-lives of 1.93 and 1.28 h, respectively. Enantioselective metabolism behaviors were observed in loach and rat liver microsomes and the direction of enantioselectivity were different. R-lactofen was preferentially metabolized in loach liver microsome, while S-lactofen was preferentially metabolized in rat liver microsome. No interconversion of R- and S-lactofen was found. Besides, the main metabolic pathways of R- and S-lactofen were found to be significantly different. R-lactofen was metabolized to R-desethyl lactofen in both loach and rat liver microsomes without further metabolism. However, S-lactofen was metabolized to both S-desethyl lactofen and acifluorfene in rat liver microsome, which was mainly metabolized to acifluorfene in loach liver microsome. This study indicated enantioselectivity and metabolites should be taken into consideration when overall evaluating the environmental behavior of lactofen.

Abstract
Recent attempts to synthesize hybrid perovskites with large chirality have been hampered by large size mismatch and weak interaction between their structure and the wavelength of light. Here we adopt a planar nanostructure design to overcome these limitations and realize all-dielectric perovskite metasurfaces with giant superstructural chirality. We identify a direct spectral correspondence between the near- and the far- field chirality, and tune the electric and magnetic multipole moments of the resonant chiral metamolecules to obtain large anisotropy factor of 0.49 and circular dichroism of 6350 mdeg. Simulations show that larger area metasurfaces could yield even higher optical activity, approaching the theoretical limits. Our results clearly demonstrate the advantages of nanostructrure engineering for the implementation of perovskite chiral photonic, optoelectronic, and spintronic devices. Though chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are attractive for next-generation optoelectronics, imparting strong chirality through chemical synthesis has proved challenging. Here, the authors report all-dielectric perovskite metasurfaces with giant superstructural chirality via planar nanostructuring.

Abstract
Determining the chirality of molecules and nanoparticles often relies on circular dichroism and optical rotation: two chiral optical (chiroptical) effects in the linear optical regime. Although these linear effects are weak compared to nonlinear chiroptical effects, they have the advantage of being measured in isotropic liquids - free from the complications of anisotropy. Recently, a nonlinear effect: hyper-Rayleigh scattering optical activity (HRS OA) has been shown to reliably distinguish between the two chiral forms of Ag nanohelices, suspended in isotropic liquids. However, this first demonstration of HRS OA also opened new questions. For instance, at a fundamental level, it is not clear what the role of interactions between nanoparticles is. Moreover, the influence of the ultrafast pulse chirp is unknown. Here, we demonstrate HRS OA from well below two Ag nanohelices in the illumination volume, precluding any interactions. Additionally, we performed the first measurements of HRS depolarization ratios in this system and find a value of ≈1. We also show that HRS is highly robust against the chirp of the ultrafast pulses. An important reason for the strong (down to single nanohelix) sensitivity of our experiments is the large chiroptical interaction at the fundamental frequency; this point is illustrated with two sets of numerical simulations of the electromagnetic near-fields. Our results highlight HRS OA as a highly sensitive experimental method for characterization of chiral solutions/suspensions, in tiny illumination volumes.

Abstract
Chiral nanostructures of nanoparticle assemblies have attracted tremendous interest for their fascinating functional properties. Herein, through theoretical simulations, we show that nanoparticle tethered block copolymers can self-assemble into hierarchically chiral nanostructures. Two-fold helices are formed in the hierarchically chiral nanostructures: the diblock copolymers form helical supercylinders while the nanoparticles arrange into chiral assemblies wrapped around the helical supercylinders. The hierarchically chiral nanostructures can be formed in a large parameter window. Circular dichroism calculations demonstrate that the coexistence of polymeric helices and chiral nanoparticle assemblies improves the chiroptical activity. These findings can provide guidelines for designing hierarchically ordered chiral nanostructures with advanced functional properties. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Antenna technology is at the basis of ubiquitous wireless communication systems and sensors. Radiation is typically sustained by conduction currents flowing around resonant metallic objects that are optimized to enhance efficiency and bandwidth. However, resonant conductors are prone to large scattering of impinging waves, leading to challenges in crowded antenna environments due to blockage and distortion. Metasurface cloaks have been explored in the quest of addressing this challenge by reducing antenna scattering. However, metasurface-based designs have so far shown limited performance in terms of bandwidth, footprint and overall scattering reduction. Here we introduce a different route towards radio-transparent antennas, in which the cloak itself acts as the radiating element, drastically reducing the overall footprint while enhancing scattering suppression and bandwidth, without sacrificing other relevant radiation metrics compared to conventional antennas. This technique opens opportunities for cloaking technology, with promising features for crowded wireless communication platforms and noninvasive sensing. The authors demonstrate broadband and efficient radio-transparent antennas based on cloaking technology. Their features are well suited for modern communication systems, as closely spaced antennas need to be integrated with minimal interference.

Abstract
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 concentration of chiral molecules at ultralow thresholds, which is highly attractive for numerous applications in life science and chemistry. However, a thorough understanding of the underlying interactions is still missing. The theoretical description relies on either simple approximations or on purely numerical approaches. We close this gap and present a general theory of chiral light-matter interactions in arbitrary resonators. Our theory describes the chiral interaction as a perturbation of the resonator modes, also known as resonant states or quasi-normal modes. We observe two dominant contributions: A chirality-induced resonance shift and changes in the modes' excitation and emission efficiencies. Our theory brings deep insights for tailoring and enhancing chiral light-matter interactions. Furthermore, it allows us to predict spectra much more efficiently in comparison to conventional approaches. This is particularly true, as chiral interactions are inherently weak and therefore perturbation theory fits extremely well for this problem.

Abstract
The optical vortex (OV) beams characterized by orbital angular momentum (OAM) possess ubiquitous applications in optical communication and nanoparticle manipulation. Particularly, the vortex vector beams are important in classical physics and quantum sciences. Here, based on an all-dielectric transmission metasurface platform, we demonstrate a spin-multiplexed metadevice combining propagation phase and Pancharatnam–Berry (PB) phase. By utilizing a phase-only modulation method, the metadevice can generate spin-dependent and multidimensional focused optical vortex (FOV) under the orthogonally circularly polarized incident light, and it can successfully realize the multiplexed of the above-mentioned FOVs for linearly polarized light. Meanwhile, the superposition of multiple OAM states can also produce vector vortex beams with different modes. Additionally, the evolution process of the electric field intensity profile is presented after the resultant vector vortex beams through a horizontal linear polarization. This work paves an innovative way for generating structured beams, and it provides promising opportunities for advanced applications in optical data storage, optical micromanipulation, and data communication.

Abstract
A polarization transformation can be fully described by a 4 × 4 matrix, known as the Mueller matrix. To fully image an object's polarization response, one needs to compute the Mueller matrix at each pixel of the image. Standard divison-of-time Mueller matrix imaging, because of its sequential nature, is ill-suited to applications requiring immediate and real-time imaging and is also bulky owing to multiple moving parts. In this work, we propose a new method for compact, snapshot Mueller matrix imaging, based on structured polarization illumination, and division-of-focal plane imaging, which can, in a single-shot, fully capture the Mueller matrix information of a band-limited signal.

Abstract
Herein we propose a design of a wavelength-tunable integrated vortex beam emitter based on the silicon-on-insulator platform. The emitter is implemented using a PN-depletion diode inside a microring resonator with the emitting hole grating that was used to produce a vortex beam. The resonance wavelengths can be shifted due to the refractive index change associated with the free plasma dispersion effect. Obtained numerical modeling results confirm the efficiency of the proposed approach, providing a resonance wavelength shift while maintaining the required topological charge of the emitted vortex beam. It is known that optical vortices got a lot of attention due to extensive telecommunication and biochemical applications, but also, they have revealed some beneficial use cases in sensors. Flexibility in spectral tuning demonstrated by the proposed device can significantly improve the accuracy of sensors based on fiber Bragg gratings. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed device can provide a displacement of the resonance by the value of the free spectral range of the ring resonator, which means the possibility to implement an ultra-fast orbital angular momentum (de)multiplexing or modulation.

Abstract
Chirality, a lack of mirror symmetry, is present in nature at all scales; at the nanoscale, it governs the biochemical reactions of many molecules, influencing their pharmacology and toxicity. Chiral substances interact with left and right circularly polarized light differently, but this difference is very minor in natural materials. Specially engineered, nanostructured, periodic materials can enhance the chiro-optical effects if the symmetry in their interactions with circular polarization is broken. In the diffraction range of such metasurfaces, the intensity of diffracted orders depends on the chirality of the input beam. In this work, we combine a photothermal deflection experiment with a novel theoretical framework to reconstruct both the thermal and optical behavior of chiro-optical behavior in diffracted beams.

Abstract
In this work, we present metalenses (MLs) designed to enhance the luminous intensity of incoherent light-emitting diodes (LEDs) within the detection angles of 0° and 10°. The detection angle of 0° refers to the center of the LED. Because the light emitted from LEDs is incoherent and expressed as a surface light source, they are numerically described as a set of point sources and calculated using incoherent summation. The titanium dioxide (TiO2) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) nanohole meta-atoms are designed; however, the full 2π phase coverage is not reached. Nevertheless, because the phase modulation at the edge of the ML is important, an ML is successfully designed. The typical phase profile of the ML enhances the luminous intensity at the center, and the phase profile is modified to increase the luminous intensity in the target detection angle region. Far field simulations are conducted to calculate the luminous intensity after 25 m of propagation. We demonstrate an enhancement of the luminous intensity at the center by 8551% and 2115% using TiO2 and a-Si MLs, respectively. Meanwhile, the TiO2 and a-Si MLs with the modified phase profiles enhance the luminous intensity within the detection angle of 10° by 263% and 30%, respectively.

Abstract
Chiral biological and pharmaceutical molecules are analyzed with phenomena that monitor their very weak differential interaction with circularly polarized light. This inherent weakness results in detection levels for chiral molecules that are inferior, by at least six orders of magnitude, to the single molecule level achieved by state-of-the-art chirally insensitive spectroscopic measurements. Here, we show a phenomenon based on chiral quantum metamaterials (CQMs) that overcomes these intrinsic limits. Specifically, the emission from a quantum emitter, a semiconductor quantum dot (QD), selectively placed in a chiral nanocavity is strongly perturbed when individual biomolecules (here, antibodies) are introduced into the cavity. The effect is extremely sensitive, with six molecules per nanocavity being easily detected. The phenomenon is attributed to the CQM being responsive to significant local changes in the optical density of states caused by the introduction of the biomolecule into the cavity. These local changes in the metamaterial electromagnetic environment, and hence the biomolecules, are invisible to "classical" light-scattering-based measurements. Given the extremely large effects reported, our work presages next generation technologies for rapid hypersensitive measurements with applications in nanometrology and biodetection.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles offer a multifunctional platform for biomedical applications in drug delivery, biosensing, bioimaging, disease diagnosis, screening, and therapies. Homochirality prevalently exists in biological systems composed of asymmetric biochemical activities and processes, so biomedical applications essentially favor the usage of inorganic chiral nanomaterials, which have been widely studied in the past two decades. Here, the latest investigations are summarized including the characterization of 3D stereochirality, the bionic fabrication of hierarchical chirality, extension of the compositional space to poly-elements, studying optical activities with the (sub-)single-particle resolution, and the experimental demonstration in biomedical applications. These advanced studies pave the way toward fully understanding the two important chiral effects (i.e., the chiroptical and enantioselective effects), and prospectively promote the flexible design and fabrication of inorganic chiral nanoparticles with engineerable functionalities to solve diverse practical problems closely associated with environment and public health.

Abstract
We constructed a tailorable membrane channel system consisting of penicillamine molecules intercalated in copper selenide nanoparticles (Cu2-x Se NPs), which exhibited circular dichroism (CD) bands in the near infrared region (CD, 800-1600 nm) with a maximum intensity of 164.5 mdeg at 1440 nm. The chiral ligand hybridized to the surface of achiral Cu2-x Se NPs by breaking the intrinsic symmetry of Cu2-x Se NPs and further large-scale assembly induced strong optical activity. The fabricated multilayer chiral membrane achieved an increased rectification ratio (RR) up to 114. The integration of penicillamine allowed for high enantioselective recognition against naproxen,which displayed high sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.027 nM.

Abstract
Chiral nanophotonic materials are promising candidates for biosensing applications because they focus light into nanometer dimensions, increasing their sensitivity to the molecular signatures of their surroundings. Recent advances in nanomaterial-enhanced chirality sensing provide detection limits as low as attomolar concentrations (10-18 M) for biomolecules and are relevant to the pharmaceutical industry, forensic drug testing, and medical applications that require high sensitivity. Here, we review the development of chiral nanomaterials and their application for detecting biomolecules, supramolecular structures, and other environmental stimuli. We discuss superchiral near-field generation in both dielectric and plasmonic metamaterials that are composed of chiral or achiral nanostructure arrays. These materials are also applicable for enhancing chiroptical signals from biomolecules. We review the plasmon-coupled circular dichroism mechanism observed for plasmonic nanoparticles and discuss how hotspot-enhanced plasmon-coupled circular dichroism applies to biosensing. We then review single-particle spectroscopic methods for achieving the ultimate goal of single-molecule chirality sensing. Finally, we discuss future outlooks of nanophotonic chiral systems.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a giant circular dichroism (CD) chiral metamirror that differentially absorbs circularly polarized (CP) waves with dual/multi bands. The structure is composed of two variable τ resonators with counter split opening directions and different eigenfrequencies. Even more important, these two resonators are aligned vertically, and then integrated into one periodical unit cell, which results in the high-efficiency absorptive CD. The chiral metamirror has a narrow-band absorption of the left-handed circularly polarized (LCP) wave for lower resonance, and a broadband absorption of the right-handed circularly polarized (RCP) wave in the higher-frequency range. Optical resonator designs with diversified chiral molecules combinations are further studied in detail. Through the study of different periodic arrangements, parameters scanning optimization, and power loss distributions, it is proved that the overall permutation symmetry breakdown of total combined chiral molecules is the determining factor for the absorptive CD. Based on the principle in the microwave model, two mid-infrared chiral metamirrors are further realized, which can still show good spin-dependent absorption. This multi-polarization and multifunction response advance novel photonic devices for a variety of applications including CP laser, biomolecules detection, and energy harvester.

Abstract
Recognition of enantiomeric molecules is essential in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In this Article, a novel approach is introduced to monitor chiral molecules via a helical magnetic field (hB), where chiral-inactive magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles (MagPlas NPs, Ag@Fe3O4 core-shell NPs) are assembled into helical nanochain structures to be chiral-active. An in-house generator of hB-induced chiral NP assembly, that is, a plasmonic chirality enhancer (PCE), is newly fabricated to enhance the circular dichroism (CD) signals from chiral plasmonic interaction of the helical nanochain assembly with circularly polarized light, reaching a limit of detection (LOD) of 10-10 M, a 1000-fold enhancement as compared to that of conventional CD spectrometry. These enhancements were successfully observed from enantiomeric molecules, oligomers, polymers, and drugs. Computational simulation studies also proved that total chiroptical properties of helical plasmonic chains could be readily changed by modifying the chiral structure of the analytes. The proposed PCE has the potential to be used as an advanced tool for qualitative and quantitative recognition of chiral materials, enabling further application in pharmaceutical and biomedical sensing and imaging.

Abstract
A superchiral field, which can generate a larger chiral signal than circularly polarized light, is a promising mechanism to improve the capability to characterize chiral objects. In this paper, Mie scattering by a chiral sphere is analyzed based on the T-matrix method. The chiral signal by circularly polarized light can be obviously enhanced due to the Mie resonances. By employing superchiral light illumination, the chiral signal is further enhanced by 46.8% at the resonance frequency. The distribution of the light field inside the sphere is calculated to explain the enhancement mechanism. The study shows that a dielectric sphere can be used as an excellent platform to study the chiroptical effects at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Surface plasmonic sensors have been widely used in biology, chemistry, and environment monitoring. These sensors exhibit extraordinary sensitivity based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects, and they have found commercial applications. In this review, we present recent progress in the field of surface plasmonic sensors, mainly in the configurations of planar metastructures and optical-fiber waveguides. In the metastructure platform, the optical sensors based on LSPR, hyperbolic dispersion, Fano resonance, and two-dimensional (2D) materials integration are introduced. The optical-fiber sensors integrated with LSPR/SPR structures and 2D materials are summarized. We also introduce the recent advances in quantum plasmonic sensing beyond the classical shot noise limit. The challenges and opportunities in this field are discussed.

Abstract
We propose an approach to realize a multi-band on-chip photonic spin Hall effect and selective excitation of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) by integrating metasurfaces with microcavities. Free-space circularly polarized light with opposite spin angular momentum can effectively excite WGMs with opposite propagation directions at fixed wavelengths. Moreover, the different WGMs with different propagation directions and polarizations can be selectively excited by manipulating the number of antennas. We demonstrate that the optical properties (i.e., coupling efficiency, peak positions, and peak widths) of the proposed metasurface-integrated microcavities can be easily tailored by adjusting different geometric parameters. This study enables the realization of chiral microcavities with exciting novel functionalities, which may provide a further step in the development of photonic integrated circuits, optical sensing, and chiral optics.

Abstract
Herein, we have discussed three major methods which have been generally employed for the generation of optical beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM). These methods include the practice of diffractive optics elements (DOEs), metasurfaces (MSs), and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for the production of in-plane and out-of-plane OAM. This topic has been significantly evolved as a result; these three methods have been further implemented efficiently by different novel approaches which are discussed as well. Furthermore, development in the OAM detection techniques has also been presented. We have tried our best to bring novel and up-to-date information to the readers on this interesting and widely investigated topic.

Abstract
Chirality is a property of broken mirror symmetry and detecting the handedness of chiral material in small quantities is an important problem in biology and biochemistry. Here, we present a waveguide-based method to measure chirality and distinguish the enantiomers of molecules. A bi-isotropic core in an optical waveguide lifts the degeneracy of modes in a cylindrically symmetric structure. This modal degeneracy lifting is exploited to measure the chirality of the core. The proposed sensor can determine the value of the chirality parameter of the material under test and it can be utilized for various materials with nonzero chirality parameter in different frequency bands. This approach improves the circular dichroism (CD) response and outperforms conventional CD spectroscopy methods by increasing their differential output signal. To compare the results with conventional CD spectroscopy, the CD parameter is adapted to optical waveguides.

Abstract
The full manipulation of intrinsic properties of electromagnetic waves has become the central target in various modern optical technologies. Optical metasurfaces have been suggested for a complete control of light-matter interaction with subwavelength structures, and they have been explored widely in the past decade for creating next-generation multifunctional flat-optics devices. The current studies of metasurfaces have reached a mature stage where common materials, basic optical physics, and conventional engineering tools have been explored extensively for various applications such as light bending, metalenses, metaholograms, and many others. A natural question is where the future research on metasurfaces will be going: Quo vadis, metasurfaces? In this Mini Review, we provide perspectives on the future developments of optical metasurfaces. Specifically, we highlight recent progresses on hybrid metasurfaces employing low-dimensional materials and discuss biomedical, computational, and quantum applications of metasurfaces, followed by discussions of challenges and foreseeing the future of metasurface physics and engineering.

Abstract
Dynamic control of circular polarization in chiral metasurfaces is being used in many photonic applications. However, simple fabrication routes to create chiral materials with considerable and fully tunable chiroptical responses at visible and near-infrared wavelengths are scarce. Here, we describe a scalable bottom-up approach to construct cross-stacked nanoparticle chain arrays that have a circular dichroism of up to 11°. Due to their layered design, the strong superchiral fields of the inter-layer region are accessible to chiral analytes, resulting in a tenfold enhanced sensitivity in a chiral sensing proof-of-concept experiment. In situ restacking and local mechanical compression enables full control over the entire set of circular dichroism characteristics, namely sign, magnitude and spectral position. Strain-induced reconfiguration opens up an intriguing route towards actively controlled pixel arrays using local deformation, which fosters continuous polarization engineering and multi-channel detection.

Abstract
Chiral materials, which show different optical behaviors when illuminated by left or right circularly polarized light due to broken mirror symmetry, have greatly impacted the field of optical sensing over the past decade. To improve the sensitivity of chiral sensing platforms, enhancing the chiroptical response is necessary. Metasurfaces, which are two-dimensional metamaterials consisting of periodic subwavelength artificial structures, have recently attracted significant attention because of their ability to enhance the chiroptical response by manipulating amplitude, phase, and polarization of electromagnetic fields. Here, we reviewed the fundamentals of chiroptical metasurfaces as well as categorized types of chiroptical metasurfaces by their intrinsic or extrinsic chirality. Finally, we introduced applications of chiral metasurfaces such as multiplexing metaholograms, metalenses, and sensors.

Abstract
The discrimination of enantiomers is crucial in biochemistry. However, chiral sensing faces significant limitations due to inherently weak chiroptical signals. Nanophotonics is a promising solution to enhance sensitivity thanks to increased optical chirality maximized by strong electric and magnetic fields. Metallic and dielectric nanoparticles can separately provide electric and magnetic resonances. Here we propose their synergistic combination in hybrid metal-dielectric nanostructures to exploit their dual character for superchiral fields beyond the limits of single particles. For optimal optical chirality, in addition to maximization of the resonance strength, the resonances must spectrally coincide. Simultaneously, their electric and magnetic fields must be parallel and π/2 out of phase and spatially overlap. We demonstrate that the interplay between the strength of the resonances and these optimal conditions constrains the attainable optical chirality in resonant systems. Starting from a simple symmetric nanodimer, we derive closed-form expressions elucidating its fundamental limits of optical chirality. Building on the trade-offs of different classes of dimers, we then suggest an asymmetric dual dimer based on realistic materials. These dual nanoresonators provide strong and decoupled electric and magnetic resonances together with optimal conditions for chiral fields. Finally, we introduce more complex dual building blocks for a metasurface with a record 300-fold enhancement of local optical chirality in nanoscale gaps, enabling circular dichroism enhancement by a factor of 20. By combining analytical insight and practical designs, our results put forward hybrid resonators to increase chiral sensitivity, particularly for small molecular quantities.

Abstract
We propose a circular twist-symmetric dielectric waveguide that is polarization-selective. In the practical implementation of optical fibers, a selective circular polarization is more convenient than its linearly polarized counterpart where previous knowledge of the emitted polarization from the transmitter is unknown. The analysis of the waveguide was conducted with three methods: an eigenmode approach, simulation of a truncated structure, and the so-called multimodal transfer-matrix method (MMTMM). The presented simulations demonstrate that the operational band can be manipulated by tuning the parameters of the structure. Furthermore, the MMTMM allows for a direct and accurate calculation of the attenuation constant of the rejected circular polarization.

Abstract
A sergeants-and-soldiers (S&S) effect is very useful to the fabrication of supramolecular chirality. This strategy has not yet been explored in the construction of chiral plasmonic superstructures. Herein, we demonstrate a spatially separated S&S effect in fabricating plasmonic superstructures and modulating their chiroptical responses. Specifically, chiral cysteine (Cys) molecules, acting as sergeants, are sandwiched between a gold nanorod (AuNR) core and a Au shell via AuNR-templated Au overgrowth. Cationic surfactants, CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) or CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride), are modified on the AuNR@Cys@Au shell surface, thus spatially separating from the chiral sergeants. During the assembly process, the surfactants act as soldiers which could transfer and amplify the local chirality induced by the adsorbed chiral molecules from the plasmonic monomers to the oligomers. Huge PCD signals could be achieved in the plasmonic oligomers by finely tuning chiral sergeants and achiral soldiers, indicating the feasibility of the S&S effect in fabricating chiral plasmonic superstructures.

Abstract
We report a large chiro-optical response from a nanostructured film of aperiodic dielectric helices decorated with ellipsoidal metal nanoparticles. The influence of the inherent fabrication variation on the chiro-optical response of the wafer-scalable nanostructured film is investigated using a computational model which closely mimics the material system. From the computational approach, we found that the chiro-optical signal is strongly dependent on the ellipticities of the metal nanoparticles and the developed computational model can account for all the variations caused by the fabrication process. We report the experimentally realized dissymmetry factor ∼1.6, which is the largest reported for wafer scalable chiro-plasmonic samples till now. The calculations incorporate strong multipolar contributions of the plasmonic interactions to the chiro-optical response from the tightly confined ellipsoidal nanoparticles, improving upon the previous studies carried in the coupled dipole approximation regime. Our analyzes confirm the large chiro-optical response in these films developed by a scalable and simple fabrication technique, indicating their applicability pertaining to manipulation of optical polarization, enantiomer selective identification and enhanced sensing and detection of chiral molecules.
