The most common optical materials do not affect the polarization of light, but some materials-those that exhibit birefringence, dichroism, or optical activity-affect light differently depending on its polarization. (wikipedia.org)
Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of amino acids in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) at around 6.8 eV (182 nm) indicate that the circularly polarized light can induce ee through photochemical reactions. (bvsalud.org)
Magnetic circular1
Here, we present a characterization method based on photothermal magnetic circular dichroism (PT MCD), which measures the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized light of an individual magnetic nanoparticle due to the polar Kerr effect 3 . (underline.io)

Left3
In circular or elliptical polarization, the fields rotate at a constant rate in a plane as the wave travels, either in the right-hand or in the left-hand direction. (wikipedia.org)
Circularly polarized electromagnetic waves are composed of photons with only one type of spin, either right- or left-hand. (wikipedia.org)
Linearly polarized waves consist of photons that are in a superposition of right and left circularly polarized states, with equal amplitude and phases synchronized to give oscillation in a plane. (wikipedia.org)
