Abstract
I will talk about synthetic chiral light, a new type of freely propagating optical fields that we have recently introduced [1]. Synthetic chiral light enables the highest possible degree of control over chiral light-matter interaction. It allows us to drive a strong nonlinear response in chiral molecules of a selected handedness. As a result, we can force a particular molecular enantiomer to emit bright harmonic light while its mirror twin remains dark, reaching the ultimate efficiency limit in chiral discrimination.
