“Circular” photogalvanic effect in optically active crystals

A novel photogalvanic effect induced by a circular polarized light in tellurium has been found. The absorption of light propagating along the C-axis of the crystal creates a fast e.m.f. which is proportional to the degree of the circular polarization and exhibits a sign dependence on the direction o...

Zusammenfassung:A novel photogalvanic effect induced by a circular polarized light in tellurium has been found. The absorption of light propagating along the C-axis of the crystal creates a fast e.m.f. which is proportional to the degree of the circular polarization and exhibits a sign dependence on the direction of the polarization.
