Abstract
Spectral dispersion curves of the refractive indices and birefringence of highly oriented fibres [poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalene-dicarboxylate) (1000 denier/248 filaments, PEN-Q50M4; PEN), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), Seun yarn (meta-aramid fibres, Teijin Japan; CONEX) and Technora T-240 (1000 denier/667 filaments aramid fibres, Teijin Japan; TECHNORA)] have investigated using the automatic variable-wavelength interferometric (VAWI) technique. This technique is especially recommended for measuring the refractive indices of highly oriented fibres. The polarizabilities per unit volume are calculated for these fibres and the molecular orientation function of PEN and PET are determined. Microinterferograms are given for illustration.
