Abstract
The optical rotatory power of undoped and doped Al, P, Sc, Ta, and crystals was studied. It is established that the influence of different dopants with the same valence on the optical activity is identical. Thus the larger significance of the valence in comparison to the ionic radius of dopants is confirmed. It is shown that at codoping, the dopants with different valences mutually compensate the influence of the other. As a rule, Al and Sc decrease optical rotatory power, whereas P and Ta increase it. The energies of the transition located at the oxide complex (D, dopant atom) are specified.
