What is Chiral Technology?
90 second animation produced by National Science Foundation about how chiral photonics works! View video Chiral Photonics is developing products that exploit the unique concurrence of spectral and polarization selectivity that chiral structures offer. The structures are self-assembling or are manufactured via low cost continuous processes that deliver both cost and performance advantages over present technologies. Chiral Thin Film Structures: These efforts are focused on developing an organic, self-assembling thin film laser based on the photonic band gap properties of cholesteric liquid crystals that we have pioneered over the last few years. Chiral Photonics has demonstrated an optically pumped Chiral Thin Film Laser and is working towards an electronically pumped organic laser for which this chiral structure is an ideal feedback system. This development work addresses display, lighting and sensor applications. Chiral Fibers: Chiral Photonics has discovered that the chiral structure
