There are two common types of optically active additives available commercially: inorganic and organic.

It is exhibited in the absorption bands of optically active chiral molecules.

The encoded regions become optically active due to the Pockels effect.

Optically active materials do not split light into two rays, or polarizations.

There are two ways in which a material can be optically active.

There is a linear relationship between the observed rotation and the concentration of optically active compound in the sample.

This is the bond connecting the two optically active carbon atoms.

It is an important tool in the production of optically active drugs.

The ribbons are layered on top of each other with pieces cut out to create optically active designs from both positive and negative space.

Molecules that do this are said to be optically active.
