Sculpted imploding waves

Experimental implementation of this approach, however, requires the development of tools to shape the incoming wave,  

COHERENT CONTROL OF SYNTHESIS AND PURIFICATION OF CHIRAL MOLECULES 

Section 8.1 introduces general rules under which this type of control is possible, in Section 8.2, we consider the two-photon dissociation of a single quantum tate of a B-A-B molecule to yield BA+B and B+AB, where B and B are Qantiomers. We demonstrate two results (1) ordinary photodissociation of the BAB molecule with linearly polarized light yields identical cross sections 

In Section 8.3, we introduce a coherent control scheme for enhancing the fraction of one desired enantiomer, given a racemic mixture of molecules. This scheme, called laser distillation, is of great practical interest because the effect obtained is substantial, even in the presence of decoherence. An alternative scheme, due to Fujimura and co-workers [263, 264] is also briefly described.
