The fluorescence detected circular dichroism (FDCD) and circular polarization of luminescence (CPL) of rigid systems is related to molecular parameters. It is found that FDCD can yield the CD for light incident along the direction of the fluorescence transition moment. The average CD can also be measured as in a fluid medium. From CPL measurements one can evaluate the optical activity for light incident along the direction of the absorption transition moment. Thus, photoselection provides a method for measuring the direction dependent CD or optical activity of a molecule without actually orienting the molecule. (AIP)
