Abstract

A recent analysis has suggested that a version of femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, in which both pulses are themselves optical phase-controlled pulse pairs, would be useful in preparing and measuring chiral coherences. These coherences are absent in a racemic mixture or an incoherent sum of left- and right-handed states. Here we discuss the preparation of chiral coherences and the observation of their degradation via interaction with a low temperature medium.
