Abstract

The two independent components of the gyration tensor of quartz, g(11) and g(33), have been spectroscopically measured using a transmission two-modulator generalized ellipsometer. The method is used to determine the optical activity in crystals in directions other than the optic axis, where the linear birefringence is much larger than the optical activity.
