Abstract:
A direct measurement of the birefringence of a planar waveguide obtained by Na(+) -K(+) ion exchange was performed with a double Lloyd interferometer. The results are compared with those obtained by a roundrobin test involving the same sample. Birefringence of as much as Deltan = (2.0 +/- 0.2) x 10(-3) was measured.
