Abstract

The feasibility of measuring circular dichroism (CD) in ion yields is demonstrated in multiphoton ionization employing femtosecond laser radiation for the first time. CD values for (R)-propylene oxide are reported at 738 nm, 810 nm and 878 nm. The data suggest the possibility of resonance contributions at 810 nm. At the other wavelengths the CD appears to originate from non-resonant multiphoton ionization. Possible implications of measuring non-resonant CD are discussed.
