Shopa Y.

Spatial inhomogeneity of the phase retardation in the birefringent plates of LiNbO₃ crystals are measured. The studies are performed with the imaging polarimeter which utilizes the computer registration and image processing. The apparatus have been used for the measurements of spatial distribution of the optical anisotropy parameters characterizing several single crystals

Key words: Polarimetry, image, birefringence, spatial distribution
