Circularly polarized light is widely studied and applied to influence enantiomeric equilibria and isolate specific chiral isomers through differential absorption and asymmetric photochemistry.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust evidence that circularly polarized light (and associated circular dichroism techniques) interacts differentially with chiral isomers, enabling enantioselective photochromism and asymmetric photolysis for isomer separation.
