Superchiral light generation on nanoimprinted achiral plasmonic substrates for chiral drug detection

Plasmonic nanostructures provide an excellent platform for label-free detection and manipulation of molecules based on their physical and spectral properties. Our recently discovered superchiral light on achiral plasmonic substrates was used to demonstrate enantioselective chiral molecule detection that are relevant to the pharmaceutical industry. The talk will focus on the detection of chiral drugs and biomolecules using a degenerate cavity-coupled plasmonic substrate. We also discuss advances made regarding the enantioselective separation of chiral molecules using plasmonic tweezers and prospective technical challenges that we aim to address in the future.
