Abstract
A theoretical interpretation is given of the influence of linearly polarized light on molecular ordering in Langmuir film layers. It is shown that in a layer, the molecules are rearranged under the influence of activating polarized radiation. As a result of such reorientation of the molecules, anisotropy of the optical properties arises in the layer. An expression for the ‘rearrangement’ velocity of ordering regions is obtained.
