Abstract

Optical vortices, carrying an orbital angular momentum together with a spin angular momentum, enable us to form chiral structures (e.g. chiral metal needles and chiral polymeric relief) on a nanoscale. The chirality of the fabricated nanostructures can further be controlled merely by the handedness of the optical vortices.
