Abstract
We wish to report on a simple method for measuring the birefringence and indices of refraction of nematic liquids with an accuracy comparable with or superior to previously reported means.(1–3) The method is exemplified in measurement of the temperature dependences of the indices of refraction of p-methoxybenzylidene p-butylaniline (MBBA) at two wavelengths.Keywords
