ON THE CONTROL OF EXCITED STATE RELATIVE POPULATIONS OF ENANTIOMERS USING CIRCULARLY POLARIZED PULSES OF VARYING DURATIONS

摘要

The possibility of controlling the populations of the left- versus right-handed excited states of enantiomers, such that the excited state populations vary from being equal to 100% left- or right-handed, through the use of pulsed circularly polarized lasers is discussed using a model two-level chiral molecular system.
