Empirical formula for the refractive index of freezing brine.
نویسنده
چکیده
The refractive index of freezing brine is important in order to, for example, estimate oceanic scattering as sea ice develops. Previously, no simple continuous expression was available for estimating the refractive index of brine at subzero temperatures. I show that extrapolation of the empirical formula for the refractive index of seawater by Quan and Fry [Appl. Opt.34, 3477 (1995)APOPAI0003-693510.1364/AO.34.003477] provides a good fit to the refractive index of freezing brine for temperatures above -24 degrees C and salinities below 180 per thousand.

Dispersion and Nonlinearity in Ultra-Optical Ga2O3 and TiO2-Bi2O3-PbO Glass Systems
Dispersion, as the characteristic variation of refractive index with wavelength, is more pronounced, where the wavelength is approaching to the absorption band. In ultra-optical glasses, the nonlinear refractive index, concerning to the light intensity dependent phenomenon, becomes considerable. Here, two ultra-optical property glass systems; TiO2-Bi2O3-PbO (TBP...
متن کاملEffect of Brine Freezing on the Rancidity Development during the Frozen Storage of Small Pelagic Fish Species
Brine freezing was applied to two small pelagic underutilised fish species (mackerel, Scomber scombrus; horse mackerel Trachurus trachurus). Rancidity development was studied during their frozen (-18oC) storage up to 9 months and quality change results were compared to common freezing conditions (control treatment). Fish samples treated under brine freezing conditions showed a higher lipid oxid...
متن کاملEmpirical modelling to predict the refractive index of human blood.
Optical techniques used for the measurement of the optical properties of blood are of great interest in clinical diagnostics. Blood analysis is a routine procedure used in medical diagnostics to confirm a patient's condition. Measuring the optical properties of blood is difficult due to the non-homogenous nature of the blood itself. In addition, there is a lot of variation in the refractive ind...
متن کاملModeling of Refractive Indices for Binary Aqueous Solutions of Some Alkane Polyols at Constant Temperature and Pressure
In this research, a theoretical study has been undertaken on the density and also on the relationship between refractive index and density for aqueous solutions. A simple linear equation is suggested to show this relationship. Also, a semi-empirical equation has been developed for estimating the constant of this linear equation. By using our suggested equations, the refractive indices of aq...
متن کاملMeasuring the temperature dependence of refractive index in water phantom for precise monitoring of the absorbed dose by radiation therapy techniques
In this paper, an experimental setup is used to measure the temperature dependence of the refractive index of a water phantom. In radiation calorimetry by laser beams and interferometric systems, the amount of change induced by radiation within the phantom can be accurately measured. Absorption of dose and the resulted change in temperature changes the refractive index within the material. In o...
