Increasing ion yield circular dichroism in femtosecond photoionisation using optimal control theory

Abstract

We use optimal control theory and quantum dynamical simulations to show that shaped electromagnetic pulses can increase the difference in absorption of the enantiomers of fenchone in an effective two-level description.

Trends in angle-resolved molecular photoelectron spectroscopy

“…The situation is less developed for the multiphoton, especially the REMPI case. Initial approaches have been considered already in the first experiments, 267 then a more elaborate perturbative description, 231,286 and a TDSE treatment 245 were presented. Although giving qualitative agreement with measured asymmetries, experience is too limited and more work has to be done before reaching a well established methodology.…”
