✦ Synopsis


The main idea of the method is to eliminate physically the inΒ―uence of errors of glass sample plane surfaces on the wavefront transmitting through the sample. This makes it possible to reveal the ``pure'' optical inhomogeneity of the material independently of the errors of Β―at surfaces of a glass sample made in the form of a plane-parallel plate or a wedge of the small refractive angle. A basic optical layout of the laser interferometer explaining the capabilities of the practical application of the method is presented.

Wave propagation methods allow the deduction of the viscoelastic damping properties of materials from the waveform pattern of a transitory wave: the wave pro"le is recorded at two travel distances in a thin bar made of the medium studied. In the case of linear viscoelasticity, the characteristics of
