Perfect Chirality with imperfect polarisation

Unidirectional (chiral) emission of light from a circular dipole emitter into a waveguide is only possible at points of perfect circular polarisation (C points), with elliptical polarisations yielding a lower directional contrast. However, there is no need to restrict engineered systems to circular dipoles and with an appropriate choice of dipole unidirectional emission is possible for any elliptical polarization. Using elliptical dipoles, rather than circular, typically increases the size of the area suitable for chiral interactions (in an exemplary mode by a factor $\sim 30$), while simultaneously increasing coupling efficiencies. We propose illustrative schemes to engineer the necessary elliptical transitions in both atomic systems and quantum dots.
