This paper is devoted to a study of circular dichroism in nematic-chiral mixtures with a dye. It is shown that the absorption is suppressed in the region where the wavelengths of the selective light scattering coincide with the absorption region of the liquid crystal for circular polarization whose sign is the same as that of the crystal rotation.
