TLDR
A new full-field method for the automatic analysis of isochromatic fringes in white light, named RGB photoelasticity, which makes it possible to determine retardations uniquely in the range of 0–3 fringe orders.
Abstract
In this paper a new full-field method for the automatic analysis of isochromatic fringes in white light is presented. The method, named RGB photoelasticity, eliminates the typical drawbacks of the classical approach to photoelasticity in white light which requires a subjective analysis of colors and an experienced analyst to acquire and interpret the results.

Images of absolute retardance L.Deltan, using the rotating polariser method

TL;DR: It is shown how the phase δ, and thus optical retardance, can be extracted from combining measurements of |sin δ| at different wavelengths, and the algorithm derived in this paper is valid not only for birefringence studies, but can be applied to all studies of interfering light waves.

Contribution to Study of Effect of Elliptical Polarization Upon Energy Transmission

TL;DR: In this paper, the energy transmission in a polarized light equipment is studied, which is composed of lenses, two polarizing prisms, two crossed mica plates in 45° position with respect to the prisms and a light source that produces white light.

Photoelastic Measurements Of Residual Stresses For NDE

Abstract: Photoelastic measurements of residual strains are used extensively in the QC and inspection of transparent materials. A new method of measurements, based on Spectral Contents Analysis, is described in this paper. The method uses a personal computer for photoelastic data acquisition, eliminating personal skill and subjectivity. the new tool should make the measurements of residual strains for QC simpler and more reliable.
