Polarization rotation effects in solutions of amino acids

Abstract

The effect of the laser induced nonlinear optical activity in a solution of L-amino acids has been investigated. The experimental data on optical polarization rotation of a laser beam are presented and have been used to determine of the third-order molecular susceptibility for the process of interest. The mechanism which can cause the effect of the nonlinear polarization rotation is discussed.
