Abstract
The paper shows that it is possible to obtain reliable information on the dependence of the radial distribution of longitudinal birefringence in glass cylindrical elements with a radial distribution of refractive index (GRIN lenses) on the basis of transverse polarization tomography data on residual stresses. This does not require complicated procedures of sample preparation, as is necessary in the case of longitudinal translucency measurements. The approach developed was verified in the experiments with a set of different GRIN lenses formed with the ion exchange technique, and the closeness of the data obtained from transversal and conventional longitudinal transmission measurements was demonstrated.
