Abstract
The article discusses a laser conoscopic method for studying optically active crystals in order to determine such optical characteristics as the sign of rotation of the polarization plane and the optical sign of an optically active crystal from its interference conoscopic pattern obtained with circularly polarized radiation. Such a conoscopic pattern in the form of two spirals inserted into each other allows one to simultaneously and reliably determine the indicated characteristics by the orientation of the spirals and the direction of their twisting for an optically active crystal.
