Nonlinear optical activity as the basis for a new chiral-specific technique

Abstract

Linear optical activity gives rise to circular dichroism which is based on unequal amounts of absorption experienced by left- and right-hand circularly polarised beams of light as they pass through a sample of a chiral medium. The effect can be described as a difference in molar extinction coefficients for left- and right-hand circularly polarized light: Δε/ε = (εlεr)/2(εl + εr).
