    Abstract The accurate detection, classification, and separation of chiral molecules are pivotal for advancing pharmaceutical and biomolecular innovations. Engineered chiral light presents a promising avenue to enhance the interaction between light and matter, offering a noninvasive, high-resolution, and cost-effective method for distinguishing enantiomers. Here, we present a nanostructured platform for surface-enhanced infrared absorption-induced vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) based on an achiral plasmonic system. This platform enables precise measurement, differentiation, and quantification of enantiomeric mixtures, including concentration and enantiomeric excess determination. Our experimental results exhibit a 13 orders of magnitude higher detection sensitivity for chiral enantiomers compared to conventional VCD spectroscopic techniques, accounting for respective path lengths and concentrations. The tunable spectral characteristics of this achiral plasmonic system facilitate the detection of a diverse range of chiral compounds. The platform's simplicity, tunability, and exceptional sensitivity holds remarkable potential for enantiomer classification in drug design, pharmaceuticals, and biological applications.

    Abstract All present commercial colors are based on pigments. While such traditional pigment-based colorants offer a commercial platform for large-volume and angle insensitiveness, they are limited by their instability in atmosphere, color fading, and severe environmental toxicity. Commercial exploitation of artificial structural coloration has fallen short due to the lack of design ideas and impractical nanofabrication techniques. Here, we present a self-assembled subwavelength plasmonic cavity that overcomes these challenges while offering a tailorable platform for rendering angle and polarization-independent vivid structural colors. Fabricated through large-scale techniques, we produce stand-alone paints ready to be used on any substrate. The platform offers full coloration with a single layer of pigment, surface density of 0.4 g/m

    Abstract A novel route of superchiral near-field generation is demonstrated based on geometrically achiral systems supporting degenerate and spatially superimposed plasmonic modes. Such systems generate a single-handed chiral near field with simultaneous zero far-field circular dichroism. The phenomenon is theoretically elucidated with a rotating dipole model, which predicts a uniform single-handed chiral near field that flips handedness solely by reversing the handedness of the source. This property allows detection of pure background free molecular chirality through near-field light-matter interaction, which is experimentally demonstrated in the precise identification of both handedness of a chiral molecule on a single substrate with about four orders of magnitude enhancement in detection sensitivity compared to its conventional volumetric counterpart.

    Abstract In addition to displays, liquid crystals (LCs) have also found widespread applications in photonic devices, such as adaptive lens, adaptive optics, and sensors, because of their responses to electric field, temperature, and light. As the fabrication technique advances, more sophisticated devices can be designed and created. In this review, we report recent advances of two-photon polymerization-based direct-laser writing enabled LC devices. Firstly, we describe the basic working principle of two-photon polymerization. With this powerful fabrication technique, we can generate anchoring energy by surface morphology to align LC directors on different form factors. To prove this concept, we demonstrate LC alignment on planar, curvilinear surfaces as well as in three-dimensional volumes. Based on the results, we further propose a novel, ultra-broadband, twisted-nematic diffractive waveplate that can potentially be fulfilled by this technique. Next, we briefly discuss the current status of direct-laser writing on LC reactive mesogens and its potential applications. Finally, we present two design challenges: fabrication yield and polymer relaxation/deformation, remaining to be overcome.

    Abstract A tunable-focus liquid crystal microlens array is demonstrated and characterized. Using two-photon polymerization based direct-laser writing, a polymerized microlens array is fabricated on one substrate. Such a microlens array creates inhomogeneous electric field distribution and homogeneous-like liquid-crystal alignment, simultaneously. The phase profile and thus the focal length can be tuned dynamically by the applied voltage. We also further investigate the focusing property and the imaging capability of the fabricated sample. Using the adaptive microlens array as an example, we demonstrate that directly forming a curvilinear surface with liquid-crystal alignment is feasible. In addition to adaptive lens, this direct-laser writing method is also a powerful tool for making other tunable photonic devices.

    Abstract Enhancing light-matter interaction by exciting Dirac plasmons on nanopatterned monolayer graphene is an efficient route to achieve high infrared absorption. Here, we designed and fabricated hexagonal planar arrays of nanoholes and nanodisks with and without optical cavity to excite Dirac plasmons on patterned graphene and investigate the role of plasmon lifetime, extinction cross-section, incident light polarization, angle of incident light, and pattern dimensions on the light-absorption spectra.

    Abstract Dynamic, colour-changing surfaces have many applications including displays, wearables and active camouflage. Plasmonic nanostructures can fill this role by having the advantages of ultra-small pixels, high reflectivity and post-fabrication tuning through control of the surrounding media. However, previous reports of post-fabrication tuning have yet to cover a full red-green-blue (RGB) colour basis set with a single nanostructure of singular dimensions. Here, we report a method which greatly advances this tuning and demonstrates a liquid crystal-plasmonic system that covers the full RGB colour basis set, only as a function of voltage. This is accomplished through a surface morphology-induced, polarization-dependent plasmonic resonance and a combination of bulk and surface liquid crystal effects that manifest at different voltages. We further demonstrate the system's compatibility with existing LCD technology by integrating it with a commercially available thin-film-transistor array. The imprinted surface interfaces readily with computers to display images as well as video.
