Imaging polarimetry for the determination of stress constraint in transparent solids
Using a Mueller matrix polarimeter based on liquid crystal cells [1] and the forward polar decomposition [2], we study the evolution of the birefringence property induced by an increasing compression of a Plexiglas sample. We measure the 2D distribution of the relative retardation δ, the azimuth...
