Abstract
Twisted light carrying orbital angular momentum inherently possesses a handedness, which would produce chiroptical responses by chiral matter. In this work, a scheme of vortical differential scattering (VDS) was utilized to investigate the chiroptical responses of dielectric chiral particles to the twisted light. The simulation results showed that the dielectric chiral particles have obvious VDS signals under the illumination of twisted light with opposite topological charges. The larger the relative chiral parameter of the particles, the more obvious the VDS signals. The extreme value of the VDS signals can be enhanced by reducing the waist radius of the twisted light or by adopting the circularly polarized twisted light. In addition, non-spherical dielectric chiral particles exhibit more obvious VDS signals compared with spherical ones. These findings are expected to find potential applications in the detection and identification of chiral substances.
