We investigate chiral optical forces in two different configurations. In (a) we investigate the optical force of a chiral plane wave incident on a composite chiral sphere made of an epoxy resin with embedded copper-coated stainless steel helices47,48,49. In (b) a chiral Gaussian beam is tightly focused through a high numerical aperture lens (chiral optical tweezers) and the optical trapping behaviour of an optically active particle is investigated.
