Chirality is an important concept that describes the asymmetry property of a system, which usually emerges spontaneously due to mirror symmetry breaking. Such spontaneous chirality manifests predominantly as parity breaking in modern physics, has been studied extensively, for instance, Higgs double-well Bose-Einstein condensates, topological insulators and superconductors. In optical domain, chiral elusive experimentally, especially micro- nano-photonics demands multiple identical...
