Chirality plays an essential role in life, providing unique functionalities to a wide range of biomolecules, chemicals, and drugs, which makes chiral sensing analysis critically important. The wider application continues be constrained by the involved signals being inherently weak.

Detection and differentiation of enantiomers in small quantities are crucially important many scientific fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacy. Chiral molecules manifest their handedness interaction with the chiral state light (e.g., circularly polarized light), which is commonly leveraged circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. However, compared to linear refractive index molecular chirality extremely weak, resulting low detection efficiencies. Recently, it has been shown that these...
