Uncovering the Circular Polarization Potential of Chiral Photonic Cellulose Films for Photonic Applications

Abstract

Circularly polarized light (CPL) is central to photonic technologies. A key challenge lies in developing a general route for generation of CPL with tailored chiroptical activity using low‐cost raw materials suitable for scale‐up. This study presents that cellulose films with photonic bandgaps (PBG) and left‐handed helical sense have an intrinsic ability for circular polarization leading to PBG‐based CPL with extraordinary |g | values, well‐defiend handedness, and tailorable wavelength by the PBG change. Using such cellulose films, incident light ranging from near‐UV to near‐IR can be transformed to passive L‐CPL and R‐CPL with viewing‐side‐dependent handedness and |g | values up to 0.87, and spontaneous emission transformed to R‐CPL emission with |g | values up to 0.68. Unprecedented evidence is presented with theoretical underpinning that the PBG effect can stimulate the R‐CPL emission. The potential of cellulose‐based CPL films for polarization‐based encryption is illustrated. The evaporation‐induced self‐assembly coupled with nanoscale mesogens of cellulose nanocrystals opens new venues for technological advances and enables a versatile strategy for rational design and scalable manufacturing of organic and inorganic CPL films for photonic applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
