Mathematical expressions are derived for the shape of muUiple-beam Fizeau fringes crossing fibres whose cross-sections are of kidney and dog-bone shapes. The fibres were assumed to consist of a single medium. Experiments are described in which multiple-beam Fizeau fringes in transmission were used to determine the refractive indices of the fibres and also their dimensions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
