In this paper, an optical method for precisely estimating constituents of optical isomers (OIs) in mixed solution is presented. We convert the composition ratio of OI into polarization-rotation-dependent spin Hall effect of light (SHEL). The theoretical model between the SHEL and OI composition ratio is established in the geometrical-optics picture, and the spatial shift can be measured through weak measurement technique. Based on our theory, the concentrations of glucose and fructose in a mixed solution are separately obtained. Our accurate measurements of the chiral enantiomer composition can provide an avenue for chiral drug synthesis and analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
