Asymmetric polymerization of polydiacetylene (PDA) from commercially available achiral derivative of diacetylene monomer using circularly polarized pulse laser is demonstrated. Chiral source was only circularly polarized laser, and irradiation of left- and right-circularly polarized light effectively promoted the polymerization of chiral PDAs with opposite handedness. Difference between the laser wavelength and the absorption peak of monomer suggested the contribution of the multiphoton excitation to the photo-polymerization. Laser power dependence of the polymerization rate indicated the possibility of three-photon polymerization.

sRosenfeld's formula, for off-resonance optical rotation, is derived by an alternative approach. The scattering amplitudes are determined for the scattering of right circularly polarized light and left circularly polarized light by a molecule. The calculation is carried out to the order of approximation which includes electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole terms. From the real parts of the forward scattering amplitudes the corresponding indices of refraction are determined for left and right circularly polarized light. Rosenfeld's formula then follows from the difference between the two refractive indices.

ABSTRACTMCD spectra at the M2,3 edge of thin Fe films exhibit thickness-dependent variations in line shape as well as in the absolute MCD-effect. Our data indicate that more information is contained in the MCD spectra than simply the evolution of a magnetic moment and ferromagnetic order. We developed a model to predict line shape modulations as a function of film thickness and angle of light incidence. Using the Fresnel-Maxwell formalism we calculate interference effects between left and right circularly polarized light reflected from the vacuum-film-substrate interfaces which are verified by our MCD measurements. Since the observed interference effects are a function of the excitation wavelength, our results can be directly scaled to show the significance of these effects in the more commonly used L2,3 region of 3d ferromagnets. Our data point out that one might be ill advised to rely onL2,3 MCD experiments to try to extract the formation of magnetic moments in films of several 10s of Å in thickness.
