[EN] We calculate numerically the optical chiral forces in rectangular cross-section dielectric waveguides for potential enantiomer separation. Our study considers force strength and time needed for separating chiral ...
Optical forces allow manipulation of small particles and control of nanophotonic structures
with light beams. While some techniques rely on structured light to move particles using field intensity gradients, acting locally, ...

[EN] Chiral optical forces exhibit opposite signs for the two enantiomeric versions of a chiral molecule or particle. If large enough, these forces might be able to separate enantiomers all optically, which would find ...
