Abstract
We demonstrate extreme chiral sensitivity of high harmonic generation from randomly oriented ensemble of chiral molecules in elliptical mid-infrared fields, and explain the physical mechanism underlying this very strong, highly nonlinear chiro-optical response. We also use the high harmonic spectra to resolve the electronic chiral response with 0.1 femtosecond temporal resolution.
