Abstract

The synthesis of chiral nonracemic materials and the polarization properties of chiral optical waveguides fabricated from them are presented. These materials are based on binaphthyl compounds designed to produce a glassy isotropic optically active material in a thin solid film form. Chiral-core optical waveguides may find use as novel elements in integrated optic devices for photonics applications.
