ORD measures difference in birefringence for LCP and RCP fields passing

CD measures difference in absorption of LCP and RCP fields by chiral molecules
Optical activity of chiral molecular systems refers to both ORD and CD, which are related to each other via
Kramers-Kronig relation.

femtosecond Linear Chiroptical Activity Measurement
Chiral spectroscopy
Conventional approach: Differential absorption measurement
using left- and right-handed helical (Left- and Right-CP) E-fields
In 2005, I had a series of questions that are….
Background noise problem
A/A ~ 10-3 – 10-6
Q) Is it always necessary to use chiral (left- or right-handed) fields to characterize molecular chirality? (Traditional Approach based on Intensity Mesurement)
A) Not necessarily
Q) Then, how is it possible to characterize certain handed molecule with non-chiral field?
A) Spectrometer or detection scheme should be chiral! (New Approach based on Phase-Amplitude Measurement)
Q) Can a femtosecond linearly polarized pulse (non-chiral field) be
used to determine molecular chirality?
A) Yes!
Vertical LP (VLP)
Horizontal LP (HLP)
Transverse EM wave: Two linear polarization states of
electric field (E-field)
VLP and HLP of the transverse E-field propagating in a vacuum or
an isotropic medium with achiral molecules are UNCOUPLED!
(from Maxwell equation)
e.g., VLP into a glass of water, VLP out with zero HLP
Q) What happens when VLP passes through a sugar solution?
VLPin |HLPout|2/|VLPout|
2 = 10-4
k
HLPout is generated by the radiation-matter interaction of chiral
molecules with VLPin.
VLP and HLP become COUPLED! (from Maxwell equation)
(A Cause-and-Effect phenomenon)
What are the cause and the effect in this case?
Cause: Magnetic field-magnetic dipole interaction
Effect: Electric field-electric dipole interaction-induced E-field
What is the connection (linear response) function?

Non-chiral negative-index metamaterials
can be used to generate the enhanced
chiral fields via simultaneous excitation
of electric and magnetic fields in the
longitudinal direction.
Useful chiroptical spectroscopy
The bridging of chiroptical spectroscopy
and photonic metamaterials, two distinct
disciplines of optics, will offer new
possibilities for applications of negative-

Theoretical
Nanosecond temperature-jump with an intense IR pulse initiates non-equilibrium relaxation of biomolecules (unfolding/folding), which is
monitored by using 2DIR or femtosecond CD (ORD) spectroscopic method
Excitation of OD stretch
overtone band of D2O
= 2.0 m (D2O)
→ fast energy dissipation
→ local heating
TEMPERATURE-JUMP 2DIR OR fs-CD PROBE
Probing conformational transition of proteins
