Abstract

In this report we derive a new method for obtaining the optical activity of helical polymers. Helical symmetry and periodic boundary conditions are applied to classical polarizability theory. This allows us to express the infinite polymer result in closed form. Our result is all order in intermonomer interactions, and gives the polymer circular dichroism bandshape in terms of monomer transition bandshapes. We also explicitly treat a complex unit of symmetry containing many optical transitions.
