Fundamentals and Applications of an Optical Theorem for Chiral Optical Fields
2017
The helicity of light is of great interest
in both fundamental research and in applications such as dichroism spectroscopy. Its
time-harmonic formulation is directly proportional to the density of optical chirality.
Recently, both an helicity optical theorem
(HOT) and a chirality conservation law
(CCL) have been formulated for arbitrary
scatterers taking into account an underlying
continuity equation of this quantity. We
summarize these two equivalent fundamental laws and analyze their potential applications.
