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

We investigate how optimal control theory can be used to improve Circular Dichroism (CD) signals for the A-band of fenchone measured the photoionization yield upon further excitation. These transitions are electric dipole forbidden to first order, which translates into low population transfer to the excited state but allows for a clearer interplay between electric and magnetic transition dipole moments, which are of the same order of magnitude. Using a model including the electronic ground and excited A state as well as all permanent and transition multipole moments up to the electric quadrupole, we find that the absolute CD signal of randomly oriented molecules can be increased by a factor of 2.
