Abstract The principles behind the design and operation of polarization‐based optics for nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation are discussed. With perfect single crystals and collimated X‐rays emitted from undulator‐based third‐generation synchrotron radiation sources, polarization‐selective optics with a sensitivity of parts per billion can be obtained. A general approach to optical activity is introduced, and the polarization dependence of the index of refraction is calculated for nuclear forward scattering for a medium with unidirectional symmetry. Some recent experimental results are reviewed and future applications are discussed.
