On the degress of circularity for various kinds of polarized light in a nonpolar liquid mixture Original Research Article

The explicit results of the degrees of circularity for various kinds of completely polarized light in a nonpolar binary liquid mixture composed of an optically active solute and an optically nonactive solvent are obtained with the aid of the Ornstein-Zernike form for the correlation function of density fluctuations. The results are discussed in detail far from and near the critical point and compared with circular intensity differences.
