Abstract:The extent to which structured light might conceivably resolve the handedness of chiral matter is a topic of resurgent interest, and it is one that has been a challenge since the earliest days of optical vortex studies. It has not even been certain whether or not the orbital angular momentum of light could interact in such a way -though it has been established that electric quadrupole interactions enable twisted light to engage with local electronic transitions. Crucially, certain recent experiments have provi… Show more
