Abstract
High harmonic generation is sensitive to the electronic structure of the highest valence electron. Here, circularly polarized high harmonic generation from chiral molecules by the laser field synthesized by two-color counter rotating circularly polarized lasers is investigated to elucidate the relation between the chirality and high harmonic generation. The intensity ratio between (3m + 1)-th and (3m + 2)-th orders is found to depend on the chirality. High harmonic generation can be a new probe into the chirality of bio-molecules.
