Abstract
Microwave three-wave mixing allows for enantiomer-selective excitation of randomly oriented chiral molecules into rotational states with different energy. The random orientation of molecules is reflected in the degeneracy of the rotational spectrum with respect to the orientational quantum number M and reduces, if not accounted for, enantiomer-selectivity. Here, we show how to design pulse sequences with maximal enantiomer-selectivity from an analysis of the M-dependence of the Rabi frequencies associated with rotational transitions induced by resonant microwave drives. We compare different excitations schemes for rotational transitions and show that maximal enantiomerselectivity at a given rotational temperature is achieved for synchronized three-wave mixing with circularly polarized fields.
