Abstract
The variation of refractive indices and birefringences of Egyptian-manufactured polyester fibers with different annealing times at constant temperature 160°C are studied by interferometry. The polarizing interference microscope is used for determining the mean refractive indices and mean birefringence of these fibers. The results are used to calculate optical orientation function and the angle of orientation. Also, the acoustic method has been used for measuring the density and the mechanical loss factor of these fibers. Relations between the mean refractive indices, birefringence, polarizabilities, mechanical loss factors, and densities with annealing time are given for these fibers. Illustrations are given using graphs and microinterferograms.
