Quantifiable chiroptical properties of materials and lights

Caption

Chiroptical properties of discrete scattering chiroptical objects (chiral molecules and particles) and continuous chiroptical media can be quantified. In addition, chiroptical properties of light have been quantified in terms of local density of optical chirality and optical helicity, and their fluxes and spin, and orbital angular momenta.
