dispersion of birefringence

dispersion of birefringence
   The variation of birefringence with wavelength of light. When dispersion of birefringence is significant in a particular fiber, anomalous interference colors not appearing in the regular color sequence of the Michel-Levy chart may result. Strong dispersion of birefringence may also interfere with the accurate determination of retardation in highly birefringent fibers.
