Table 1.

Results for angles characterizing the orientation in space of the c axis for the data shown in Fig. 2

Location and color of pixel Ao Bo γ χ
h = 149, v = 882 green 64 95 90°
A B γ χ
h = 251, v = 407 red 74 80 23° 67°
h = 335, v = 569 blue 67 84 43° 70°
h = 495, v = 856 magenta 65 70 43° 59°

A, B, and γ result directly as the best-fit parameters obtained from fitting the experimental data to A + B cos2 (EPU°-γ). Simple geometry implies that B = Bo sin2χ. The known orientation yields the value for Bo (first row of this table) thus χ can be calculated, assuming that A has a constant value and specifically that Ao = A, which is reasonable within the experimental errors. The errors (estimated by comparing the results for unconstrained fits and fits in which the parameter A is constrained to be the same for all the curves) are approximately 3° for γ and approximately 10° for χ.
