Dielectric multilayers for broadband optical rotation enhancement

We design a simple dielectric multilayer capable of sustaining broadband superchiral surface waves. We show that the platform can produce large optical chirality enhancements in a wavelength range of hundreds of nanometers. We finally demonstrate that these properties result in the enhancement of the optical rotation signal well above two orders of magnitude, thus extending surface-enhanced chiral spectroscopies beyond the traditionally addressed circular dichroism signals.
