An exact pole inversion method is used to calculate the complete chain-axis orientation distribution from a single inter-chain reflection. A brief outline of the formulation and computation method is given. This method is demonstrated by comparing the measured chain-axis distribution from a (002) reflection of oriented polyethylene samples, to the calculated distribution from (110) and (200) reflections of the same sample. The error in the Hermans Orientation function is less than 0.5% for the two samples tested.
