Title: Recent advances in chiroptical harmonic scattering

 

Abstract: Chiroptical harmonic scattering (CHS) was predicted in 1979, but an experimental observation of this effect remained elusive for 40 years. A first form of CHS was reported in 2019; it was demonstrated that light scattered at the second-harmonic from Ag nanohelices dispersed in water could reveal the chirality of the nanohelices. Observations in other systems (metal and semiconductor) and at the third-harmonic quickly followed. Future directions of development include novel materials (e.g. Si and Au nanohelices), novel types of scattering (e.g. second harmonic Mie scattering and Raman scattering) and instrumental developments.
