Conclusions

It is proposed to use the Senarmon method to determine path distance in birefringence and the birefringence index of natural and man-made fibres.

This method makes it possible to determine the birefringence index of fibres with high accuracy using two very simple compensators, λ/4 and 0.5–3 λ, with allowance for sign, both in regions of low and also in regions of large differences in interference beam paths, at a constant wavelength of about 590 nm, corresponding to the D line of the visible spectrum. On increase in the optical path difference, the relative error in the determination is diminished.
