Laser coherent control of an ensemble of randomly oriented chiral molecules

TL;DRAbstract

We discuss applications of laser coherent control for asymmetric synthesis of enantiomers from a racemic mixture of chiral molecules. General symmetry requirements on the exciting laser field configurations are derived. Detailed calculations are made for the example of the simplest chiral hydrogen peroxide molecule, including laser distillation scenarios from a racemic solution and estimates for induced chirality.
