Dependence of the specific angle of optical rotation on the admixture concentration in a 1D-superlattice

A microscopic theory of dispersion of optical activity is constructed for the case of a molecular crystalline multilayer, whose layers varies in width and includes point defects. We substantially rely upon the previously developed phenomenological approach to the same problem. The results obtained may serve to extend the capabilities of modeling of optically active multilayered composite materials.

► We study the optical activity of imperfect 1D-superlattice.
► Gyrotropy features due to disorder types have been studied.
► Numerical calculation of the frequency dispersion of optical activity is carried out.
► Concentration dependence of exciton energy levels of a molecular crystal is done.
► This creates possibilities for simulation of optically active composite materials.
