In the last few years, new techniques have been devised to measure optical rotation in cases where the linear birefringence dominates and this has opened up new fields of research into the phenomenon of optical rotation. In this paper, the phenomenon of optical rotation will be discussed with respect to our knowledge of crystal structure and a new measurement technique based on tilting of the crystal will be described.
