Exploiting an electric dipole effect in ionization, photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD), i.e., an asymmetry in the photoelectron angular distribution along the light propagation, is a highly sensitive enantioselective spectroscopy for studying chiral molecules in the gas phase using either single-photon [1] or multiphoton ionization [2]. In the latter case, resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) gives access to intermediate electronic states [3]. The PECD sensitivity opens the door to study control of the coupled electron and nuclear motion in enantiomers. A prerequisite is the detailed understanding of PECD in REMPI schemes. In this contribution, we demonstrate the intensity-dependence of PECD on fenchone via 2+1 REMPI using 30 fs near-ultraviolet laser pulses centered at 396 nm. We find that the magnitude of LPECD decreases with the linear increase in the FWHM of the photoelectron spectra.
