Abstract
Expressions have been derived for the refractive indices of an oriented polymer in terms of the principal extension ratios defining the deformation of the material. A simple model, in which the polymer is considered to consist of an aggregate of transversely isotropic units, has been adopted to predict the development of optical anisotropy of the polymer as it is deformed.Keywords
