Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has attracted significant attention in the fields of chiral photonics and optoelectronic materials science. In a CPL-emitting system, a chiral luminophore derived from chiral molecules is usually essential, and a pair of enantiomeric luminophores is indispensable for the typical selective-emission of right- and left-handed CPL. This review focuses on non-classical CPL systems that do not use pairs of enantiomers and introduces symmetry-breaking CPL systems that do not use optically active molecules, and covers photoexcited chiral-switching, spontaneous-resolution, cryptochirality, and magnetic CPL.
Non-classical circularly polarized luminescence (NC-CPL) system is a method that uses no pair of enantiomeric molecules and symmetry-breaking CPL (SB-CPL) system is a method that uses no optically active molecules. These NC-CPL and SB-CPL systems produce photoexcited chiral-switching, spontaneous-resolution, cryptochiral, and magnetic CPL.
