Abstract: In the present paper, we investigate the polarization properties of the cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) with an isotropic/anisotropic defect inside them, and possibilities of amplification of the polarization plane rotation and stabilization of the light polarization azimuth by these systems are investigated.
