Abstract
A two beam interferometric technique using a pluta polarizing interference microscope has been used for the determination of the refractive index profiles and the birefringence of undyed and dyed polyester fibres with single and mixture colorants. Diameters and cross-sectional shapes of these fibres were determined from the diffraction pattern of a He-Ne laser beam, incident perpendicular to the fibre axis.
