Paper Abstract
The tensorial nature of the photoelastic effect in optical materials is discussed. The commonly used photoelastic constants, the piezo-optic and the elasto-optic constants, are defined and the general form of these tensors is presented. The most commonly used methods for measuring photoelastic constants, interferometry, polarimetry, the acousto-optic effect and Brillouin scattering are discussed. In addition, the effect of wavelength dispersion is examined.
