Abstract

Deals specifically with two powerful, independent but often complementary, topics: circular dichroism (CD), which deals with the differential absorption of left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light by optically active molecules, usually involving electronic transitions in the visible and ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum; and linear dichroism (LD), which deals with the differential absorption of linearly polarized light (really a superposition of left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light) of oriented molecules, not necessarily optically active, parallel and perpendicular to the orienting axes.
