High-refractive-index measurement with an elastomeric grating coupler.
An elastomeric grating coupler fabricated by the replica molding technique is used to measure the modal indices of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) planar waveguide structure. Because of the van der Waals interaction between the grating mold and the waveguide, the elastomeric stamp makes conformal contact with the waveguide surface, inducing a periodic index perturbation at the contact region. The ...
متن کاملInfrared refractive index of atmospheric aerosol substances.
The optical constants in the ir from lambda2.5 microm to 40 microm (4000-250 cm(-1)) of dry natural aerosol substances and of sea salt are presented. The aerosol substances were obtained from rain and snow water: dust and soot by sedimentation, and water soluble salts by evaporation. The spectra of the absorption index n' were derived from our published transmittance measurements of potassium b...
متن کاملA Refractometer for tracking the changes in the refractive index of air near 780 nm
A new system, consisting of a double channel Fabry Perot etalon and laser diodes emitting around 780 nm is described and proposed to be used for air refractive index measurements. The principle of this refractometer is based on frequency measurements between optical laser sources. It permits quasi-instantaneous measurement with a resolution better than 10 9 − and uncertainty in the 10 8 − range...

A new system, consisting of a double-channel Fabry-Perot etalon and laser diodes emitting around 780 nm, is described and proposed for use for measuring air-refractive index. The principle of this refractometer is based on frequency measurements between optical laser sources. It permits quasi-instantaneous measurement with a resolution of better than 10(-9) and uncertainty in the 10(-8) range. ...
متن کاملMeasurement of refractive index of PF-5060
For optical studies of boiling heat transfer process, it is essential that the refractive index and its dependence on temperature for the test liquid be known. In this work a simple set-up was built to measure the refractive index of Fluorinert Liquid PF-5060 with temperature compensation and temperature control. The pinhole laser light beam was used for determining the refraction angle. The re...
