Chiral photonic devices have a screwlike, or helical, microstructure with a period comparable to the optical wavelength, which enables them to control or manipulate light. Chiral fiber gratings are produced by twisting fiber with a noncircular fiber core as it passes through a miniature oven.1 These structures occur naturally in right- or left-handed forms, depending on the direction of twist. Because they do not have mirror symmetry, they interact differently with right and left circularly polarized light. Chiral structures also may be found in planar forms, such as cholesteric liquid...Read full article
