Theoretical and experimental optical activity and light scattering work in highly chiral liquid crystals is reviewed, starting from the early studies twenty years ago and ending with the most current investigations. Pretransitional effects in the isotropic and smectic A phases of highly chiral liquid crystals are discussed, as well as optical activity and light scattering effects in both the blue phases and smectic A * phase.

Properties near the nematic-smectic-A-smectic-C multicritical point present in binary liquid-crystal mixtures are reviewed. Recent dynamic Fréedericksz deformation and quasielastic light-scattering results are described and their relationship with data from X-ray scattering and static light scattering is discussed.
