circular dichroism
circular dichroism[′sər·kyə·lər ′dī·krō‚iz·əm] (optics) A change from planar to elliptic polarization when an initially plane-polarized light wave traverses an optically active medium. Abbreviated CD. circular dichroism
cir·cu·lar di·chro·ism (CD), the change from circular polarization to elliptical polarization of monochromatic, circularly polarized light in the immediate vicinity of the absorption band of the substance through which the light passes.
