A rich optical phase diagram is unveiled, in which the correlations between perfect circular dichroism, pseudospin andvalley polarization can be tuned independently upon varying the Fermi energy. In particular, perfect circular dichroism and valley polarization are achieved simultaneously. This combination of optical properties suggests some interesting photonic device functionality (e.g., light polarizer) which could be combined with valleytronics applications (e.g., generation of valley currents).LandformsLight AbsorptionPhotonic DevicesPolarizationTransition MetalsDevice FunctionalityHaldane ModelOptical PhasePolarization DependencePseudospinTransition Metal DichalcogenidesValley CurrentDichroismjournal article10.1103/PhysRevB.99.1614042-s2.0-85065136372
