We report precise birefringence measurements in the nematic, N, and in the twist-bend nematic, N-TB, phases of the odd liquid crystal dimer CB7CB. The birefringence results obtained in large monodomains of the N-TB phase strongly support its heliconical structure with doubly degenerate handedness and provide the temperature dependence of the conical tilt angle, theta. The birefringence measured in planar wall defects separating the monodomains with opposite sign of the chirality suggests a splay-bend structure of the nematic in this region, enabling a smooth transition between the adjacent right- and left-handed heliconical domains.
