Eigenmodes of a chiral sphere placed in a dielectric medium were investigated in details. Excitation of these eigenmodes by a plane wave and a chiral molecule radiation was studied both analytically and numerically. It was found that decay rates of right and left enantiomers are different in the presence of the chiral sphere. Strong dependence of radiation pattern of the chiral molecule placed in the vicinity of the chiral sphere on chirality strength was also demonstrated. An interesting correlation between chirality of sphere and spatial spirality (helicity, vorticity ...) of the electromagnetic fields in the presence of chiral sphere was observed for the first time.
