Abstract

We have systematically measured the differential stress-optic coefficient, $Δ C$ , in a number of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fibers drawn with different stress, ranging from 2 up to $27 MPa$ . $Δ C$ was determined in transverse illumination by measuring the dependence of birefringence on additional axial stress applied to the fiber. Our results show that $Δ C$ in PMMA fibers has a negative sign and ranges from $- 4.5$ to $- 4.5 \times 10^{- 12} {Pa}^{- 1}$ , depending on the drawing stress. Increase of the drawing stress results in greater initial fiber birefringence and lower $Δ C$ .
