Abstract
There is growing interest in the refractive index of liquids beyond the visible and into the short-wave infrared (SWIR) for applications such as the study of liquid-core fibers and supercontinuum generation. However, most of the data reported are in the visible. For liquids with a wide transmission window in the SWIR region, refractive index data are sparse. We present a Rayleigh interferometry-based refractometer to characterize the refractive index relative to standard materials at seven different wavelengths (543.4, 632.8, 780, 973, 1064, 1550, and 1970 nm) at a temperature of ~ 21.3 ± 0.6 °C. We also show Sellmeier fits using our results juxtaposed with previously published data. Our data extends previous work to the SWIR.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optical Materials Express (OMEx), OSA''s open-access, rapid-review journal, primarily emphasizes advances in both conventional and novel optical materials, their properties, theory and modeling, synthesis and fabrication approaches for optics and photonics; how such materials contribute to novel optical behavior; and how they enable new or improved optical devices. The journal covers a full range of topics, including, but not limited to:
Artificially engineered optical structures
Biomaterials
Optical detector materials
Optical storage media
Materials for integrated optics
Nonlinear optical materials
Laser materials
Metamaterials
Nanomaterials
Organics and polymers
Soft materials
IR materials
Materials for fiber optics
Hybrid technologies
Materials for quantum photonics
Optical Materials Express considers original research articles, feature issue contributions, invited reviews, and comments on published articles. The Journal also publishes occasional short, timely opinion articles from experts and thought-leaders in the field on current or emerging topic areas that are generating significant interest.
