| contents | In this study, we investigate the nonlinear optical phenomena emerging from the interaction of vortex and vector beams with achiral nanoparticles or nanostructures. We reveal the conditions under which linear or nonlinear dichroism can be observed. Despite the achiral symmetry of the nanostructure, the interplay between the symmetries of the vortex beam, the nanostructure, and the crystalline lattice of the nanostructure material may result in circular dichroism in the nonlinear regime. We derive a formula that describes the conditions for the appearance of circular dichroism across a broad range of scenarios, taking into account all the symmetries. Building on these findings, we have determined the conditions for both linear and nonlinear dichroism when illuminated by vector beams. We believe that this work provides important insights that can enhance the design of chiral sensors and optical traps, making them more versatile and effective. |
