Optically-Induced Highly-Efficient Detection and Separation of Chiral Molecules through Shortcuts to Adiabaticity

Abstract

A highly-efficient method for optical detection and separation of left- and right-handed chiral molecules is presented. The method utilizes a closed-loop three-state system in which the population dynamics depends on the phases of the three couplings. Due to the different signs of the coupling between two of the states for the opposite chiralities and the phase sensitivity of the scheme, the population dynamics is chirality-dependent. By using concepts from the `shortcuts to adiabaticity' approach, one can achieve 100\% contrast in state population transfer between the two enantiomers, which can be probed by light-induced fluorescence in the case of large ensembles or through resonantly-enhanced multiphoton ionization at the single molecular level.
