Abstract
Dispersion of optical rotatory power ρ of TGS and DTGS crystals in the spectral range of 444 nm-632.8 nm at 293 K has been measured. The change in sign of the optical rotatory power during switching of domains was observed. Linear relation between optical rotatory power and spontaneous polarization as well as relation ∼ (Tc - T)1/2 were confirmed for both crystals. The interpretation of the results obtained showed that the optical activity is due to the spiral arrangement of glycine molecules and non-planar structure of glycine I in ferroelectric phase.
