Complex refractive index (n+ik)[ i ]


n   k   LogX   LogY   eV

Derived optical constants

Dispersion formula [ i ]

$$n^2-1=2.341388+\frac{2.962098λ^2}{λ^2-0.360017^2}+\frac{0.831035λ^2}{λ^2-35.023342^2}$$

Comments

Room temperature. Refractive index is relative to air at standard conditions; Wavelength in dispersion formula is as measured in air and expressed in micrometers.

INFO

Infrared glass

Often, calcogenide glasses are used in the optical systems operating at infrared wavelengths ~1-14 µm (for instance, optical systems for thermal imaging and night vision)
