Abstract
A direct measurement of the birefringence of a planar waveguide obtain ed by Na+-K+ ion exchange was performed with a double Lloyd interferom eter. The results are compared with those obtained by a round-robin te st involving the same sample. Birefringence of as much as Delta n = (2 .0 +/- 0.2) x 10(-3) was measured.
