Abstract
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 \ensuremath{\alpha}-HgS, cinnabar, in a spectral region of strong absorption. Reflected light polarization azimuth rotation resulting from the reflection is in the order of ${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}4}$ rad and has pronounced dependence on \ensuremath{\Elzxh}\ensuremath{\omega}-${\mathit{E}}_{\mathit{g}}$.
