Rotational sense does matter! Left and right circularly polarised laser light can be used to achieve different ionisation yields when applying multiphoton ionisation to chiral ketones (see picture). So a new type of enantioselective laser mass spectrometry becomes possible which also gives information on the involved electronic transitions.
