Experimental observation of specular optical activity
We report the first positive experimental observation of the optical activity effect on normal reflection. The experiment was performed along the optic axis in a gyrotropic semiconductor crystal of α-HgS, cinnabar, in a spectral region of strong absorption. Reflected light polarization azimuth rotat...
