Birefringence in Injection-Moulded Optical Components

  • Chapter
Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and Technology—2

Abstract

The birefringence distribution in an injection-moulded Compact Disc is determined and discussed with respect to the retardation of a laser beam of normal incidence and the influence of the deformation history of the polymer on it.
