contents We demonstrate a circularly polarized photoluminescence emission, with dissymmetry factors $g_\mathrm{PL}$ over 0.1, from achiral organic dye molecules by leveraging quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) and surface lattice resonances (SLRs) in intrinsic silicon chiral metasurfaces. We find that the $g_\mathrm{PL}$ associated with the quasi-BIC mode remains robust against variations in emission angle and dye thickness owing to its strong lateral field confinement. In contrast, the $g_\mathrm{PL}$ of the SLR mode exhibits sign inversion depending on the emission energy and dye layer thickness. The experimental results are supported by mode decomposition analysis, helicity density analysis, and near-field spatial distribution of the electric field. These findings illustrate the relevance of the emitter's layer thickness in optimizing the emission of circularly polarized light. They also elaborate on the robustness of chiral quasi-BICs, offering insights into chiral light-matter interactions and advancing the design of circularly polarized light-emitting devices.
