I'm analysis D and L glucose absorbance through UV spectroscopy and finding differences in absorbance for same concentration, what is the reason behind it.
There is great difference between isomers and enantiomers? (Basic knowledge organic chemistry, Part I, BSc grad).
Second, is there difference between optically active compounds irradiated upon non-polarized light? (This is basic knowledge 'Instrumental analysis/Analytical instrumentation' I, BSc grad, as well)

Depending on the molecule, different isomers may or may not have different UV absorptions (see, for example, Luo et al, J Phys Chem Lett, 2017, 8, 1025-1030).
However, as pointed out before, isomers are a very different thing from enantiomers, which is actually the relationship between D and L glucose. When irradiated with non-polarised light, enantiomers should have the same UV absorption.
D-glucose & L-glucose are stereo isomers of the enantiomeric type. Enantiomers differ only in the way they rotate plane-polarized light and the instrument, which shows that, is the (polarimeter).
Enantiomers will have the same UV spectra. Therefore, there is something wrong with your glucose samples.
Note that the maximum absorbance of glucose is detected at 260 nm to 270 nm.
