Abstract

The existence of optically active centres in solids, liquids and molecules is now well known. Their properties have been studied intensively, not only for fundamental reasons, but also in view of their potential applications. Energy-saving fluorescent lamps, X-ray photography, and television display tubes are well-known examples [1].
