Natural optical activity of a nonideal 1D multilayer system is considered phenomenologically and the dependence of its specific rotation angle on concentration of impurity layers is simulated numerically. Specific features caused by the corresponding disordering types of the gyrotropic photonic crystal were revealed. Based on the developed phenomenological theory, a microscopic theory of dispersion of optical activity is constructed for the case of a molecular crystalline superlattice, whose layers includes point defects.
