Interferometric and fourier techniques for measurements of optical properties of fibers
Overview of variable wavelength interferometric methods for measuring optical properties of cylindrical textile fibers precedes the latest approach based on the optical Fourier theory of birefringent fibers. Computer-Aided analysis of the optical Fourier transform pattern observed in a polarizing microscope is described as well as discussion of the results.
