Plasmonic Helicoid Nanoparticles for Highly Chiral Light Emission

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science and Seoul National University have found that the visible luminescence from chiral gold nanoparticles, when exposed to near-infrared femtosecond pulses, depends on the nanoparticles' chirality. This process achieves high selectivity for either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light.
