Chiral discrimination in helicity-preserving Fabry-Pérot cavities
Lorenzo Mauro, Jacopo Fregoni, Johannes Feist, R. Avriller
Abstract
The authors show that putting chiral molecules into a helicity-preserving Fabry-P\'erot cavity can increase the circular dichroism signal by 2 orders of magnitude. They furthermore show a clear signature of chiral cavity polaritons upon entering the regime of strong light-matter coupling.
