Chiral media are materials that exhibit optical activity due to their chiral structure, meaning they are not superimposable on their mirror images, much like left and right hands. In these media, the way light interacts with the material can differ depending on the circular polarization of the light. This means that right-handed circularly polarized light will travel through the medium differently than left-handed circularly polarized light. Chiral media can be naturally occurring or artificially created.
