Excerpt
Introduction: The refractive index of a material is one of its fundamental and useful optical properties. Accurate knowledge f the refractive index over a wide range of wavelength is indispensable for many applications. Although this property continues to receive attention for both industrial as well as purely scientific applications, the current state of the avail able data for certain widely used materials is less than adequate. While experimental results for the refractive index of pure silicon and germanium are reported by several groups of investigators claiming high accuracy and agreement. In this study, an attempt is made to consolidate all of the published refractive index data on silicon and germanium and to critically evaluate the raw experimental data and techniques of observation.
