Abstract By the use ofVašiček's polarimetric method for a single layer differences from the theoretical curves have been observed, which can not be theoretically explained. These differences can be increased experimentically by the deposition of double films. The author suggests four rules, by which the inhomogenity of the films can be calculated from the measured curves. It is possible to determine the thickness and refractive index quantitatively and the index gradient approximately. For the same salt all the four possible types of inhomogenity can be produced. With the rules the differences in the results can be eliminated. The fifth rule limits the applicability of the four other rules.
