Time-resolved circular dichroism (TRCD) spectroscopy enables the investigation of the ultrafast dynamics of photoinduced chirality changes on a sub-picosecond timescale. We use a pump-probe approach by exciting the sample with a linearly or circularly polarized pump pulse and detecting the difference in absorption of left- and right-circularly polarized probe pulses on a shot-to-shot basis. For this, we developed a setup that is capable of mirroring the polarization state of an ultrashort broadband laser pulse [1].
Here we demonstrate TRCD spectroscopy of monolayer MoS2 as a proof-of-principle experiment, validating the setup with respect to literature results [2]. In addition to spectroscopy of surfaces, we also investigate the change in chirality of a perylene bisimide folda-dimer in solution [3]. Furthermore, we analyze the arrangement of chiral surfactants around the achiral dye Congo red and the ultrafast change in chirality after excitation.
