Which sensor outcome indicates elevated stress in copolymer film?

💡 Explanation

Increased stress aligns the polymer chains, so stress-induced birefringence changes polarization because of the photoelastic effect. Therefore, higher birefringence indicates higher stress, rather than refractive index changes or simple transmission variations under constant conditions.
