Abstract
The chiral structure of the anomalous smectic phase recently observed in chiral copolymers has been studied by optical methods. The phase is amorphous, but shows a short range order, as a combination of smectic A and cholesteric structures. This phase is presumed to possess local ly the TGB(A) structure.
