Cd 1− x Mn x Te crystals with compositions 0.1 < x < 0.7 are studied. It is observed that in Mnconcentrated crystals ( x = 0.40, 0.64) are structural peculiarities which cause extra reflections in the Laue and Debye‐Sherrer patterns and the optical anisotropy of those samples. In Cd 1− x Mn x Te samples with x = 0.64 the effective birefringence is 4.2 × 10 −3 and the splitting of the exciton peak is equal 0.7 meV. The dispersion of the Faraday rotation at 300 K is well described by a single‐oscillator approximation for all the investigated Cd 1− x Mn x Te crystals. In the region of the absorption edge of highly Mn‐concentrated crystals the magnetic circular dichrosism specta have additional contribution which can be related with an excitation of Mn 2+ ions. In these crystals the temperature dependennce of magnetic circular dichroism in reflectance shows some peculiarities which are interpreted by the influence of antiferromagnetic interaction between the Mn 2+ spins.
