Abstract: The optical sensing of enantiomers is a current topic. During the last decade many different applications for optical sensing of enantiomers have been reported in the literature. The principles of distinction of enantiomers using amide and cyclodextrin phases, molecularly imprinted polymers and fluorescence sensors are depicted in this chapter. Label-free methods, like surface plasmon resonance and reflectometric interference spectroscopy, can be adopted for polymer-based chiral amides, cyclodextrines and molecularly imprinted polymers. These materials derived from chromatographic methods are used for enantiomeric separation in the aqueous phase as well as in the gaseous phase. Calixarene and 1,1'-binaphthyl fluorophores as well as fluorescent cyclodextrins could be established as sensing materials for fluorescence measurements. Examples for the most commonly used methods - enantioselective fluorescence quenching or enhancement-are presented
