Measurement of birefringence
We measure the birefringence caused by the residual stress in a sample piece. Typically the Birefringence is indicated as the decrease per 1cm in (Unit = nm / cm). As a high precision measurement, we can also show the direction of fast axis in addition to the stress birefringence.
