ABSTRACT:
Determination of refractive index distribution is utilized, including data of all the positions of diffraction images on a plane, from the incident ray dispersed by the cylindrical glass rod when the ray passes therethrough. A linear approximation thereof is performed; and the angle of the outgoing ray is calculated using the intersection of the approximate lineation and a plane through which the incident ray passes. Much data can be employed to calculated the angle of the outgoing ray. This substantially improves the accuracy of measurement of the angle of the outgoing ray and further this makes it possible to determine the angle even if no image of the outgoing ray is present on the plane throgh which the incident ray passes.
