Abstract

Circularly polarised luminescence and fluorescence-detected circular dichroism are both based on the interaction of circularly polasrised light with a chiral molecule. The former relates to the differential circularly polarized luminescence of an excited chiral molecule, and the latter to the differential absorption of circular polarized light by a chiral molecule detected by subsequent fluorescence from the excited state. The instrumentation and applications of these complementary techniques are described.
