Scattered Light Measurement for the Birefringence Distribution Estimations

Abstract

The technique based on the digital processing of recorded scattered light distribution enabling for the measurement of the birefringence profile in non-uniform anisotropic materials was proposed.


Keywords: measurement technique, birefringence distribution, scattered light, tempered glass
