We report on the performance of a system employing a multi-layer coated mirror creating circularly polarized light in a fully reflective setup. With one specially designed mirror we are able to create laser pulses with an ellipticity of more than ε = 98% over the entire spectral bandwidth from initially linearly polarized Titanium:Sapphire femtosecond laser pulses. We tested the homogeneity of the polarization with beam sizes of the order of approximately 10 cm. The damage threshold was determined to be nearly 400 times higher than for a transmissive quartz-wave plate which suggests applications in high intensity laser experiments. Another advantage of the reflective scheme is the absence of nonlinear effects changing the spectrum or the pulse-form and the scalability of coating fabrication to large aperture mirrors.

The substituent effect has a significant influence on the optical properties of spectral shape, width, and wavelength, and the intensities of the maximum peaks of emission (EMI) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). In this work, we conducted a systematic theoretical study to investigate how substituents alter the optical response in the EMI and CPL spectra of three [7]helicene derivatives at the vibronic level. To incorporate the vibronic effect, a state-of-the-art time-dependent (TD) method was used to achieve the fully converged spectra.

The chirality and chiroptical response of materials have attracted significant attention for their potential to introduce the new science of light-matter interactions. We demonstrate that collective mode formation under modal coupling between localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) with a chiral arrangement and Fabry-Pérot (FP) nanocavity modes can induce chiroptical responses. We fabricated a cluster of isotropic gold nanodisks with a chiral arrangement (gold nano-windmills, Au-NWs) on the FP nanocavities of TiO and Au film.

Hetero-metal doping or substitution to create alloy clusters is a highly appealing strategy for improving physicochemical characteristics as well as tailoring optical and electronic properties, although high-yield synthesis of alloy clusters with precise positioning of doped metals is a daunting challenge. Herein, we manifest rational synthesis of chiral alloy cluster enantiomers R/S-AgCu in 85 %-87 % yield by replacing one Ag(I) atom with Cu(I) in homometallic clusters R/S-Ag, achieving circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with a quantum yield beyond 90 %. As a small energy gap (ca.

Article Synopsis
- Circularly polarized light emission (CPLE) materials are gaining interest for applications in areas like spintronics.
- The study demonstrates a new method for activating CPLE in achiral luminogens by utilizing phase separation with helical filaments, which enhances their properties.
- The chiral environment created by nanoscale spaces allows the helical filaments to impart chirality to the otherwise CPLE-inactive luminogens, making this approach a simpler alternative to complex chemical synthesis.

Article Synopsis
- Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is key for advancements in optical displays and information tech, but achieving high performance is challenging due to trade-offs in material properties.
- The researchers used molecular imprinting technology to create new CPL-active polymer films from achiral fluorene-based polymers, reaching an impressive dissymmetry factor (g) over 4.2 × 10 and high fluorescence quantum yields.
- The process involves co-assembling polymers with a chiral inducer and an imprinting molecule, leading to stable CPL performance, full-color emission, and the ability to act as microreactors that can dynamically control CPL signals.
