2. Sellmeier equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellmeier_equation

   The Sellmeier equation is an empirical relationship between refractive index and wavelength for a particular transparent medium. The equation is used to determine the dispersion of light in the medium. It was first proposed in 1872 by Wolfgang Sellmeier and was a development of the work of Augustin Cauchy on Cauchy's equation for modelling ...

3. Wolfgang Sellmeier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Sellmeier

   Wolfgang Sellmeier was a German theoretical physicist who made major contributions to the understanding of the interactions between light and matter. [1] In 1872 he published his seminal work Ueber die durch die Aetherschwingungen erregten Mitschwingungen der Körpertheilchen und deren Rückwirkung auf die ersteren, besonders zur Erklärung der Dispersion und ihrer Anomalien. [2]

4. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

   This formula generalizes the one in the previous section for homogeneous media and includes both waveguide dispersion and material dispersion. The reason for defining the dispersion in this way is that | D | is the (asymptotic) temporal pulse spreading Δ t per unit bandwidth Δ λ per unit distance travelled, commonly reported in ps /( nm ⋅ ...

5. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

   In optics, Cauchy's transmission equation is an empirical relationship between the refractive index and wavelength of light for a particular transparent material. It is named for the mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy , who originally defined it in 1830 in his article "The refraction and reflection of light".

6. Refractive index and extinction coefficient of thin film ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_index_and...

   A. R. Forouhi and I. Bloomer deduced dispersion equations for the refractive index, n, and extinction coefficient, k, which were published in 1986 [1] and 1988. [2] The 1986 publication relates to amorphous materials, while the 1988 publication relates to crystalline.

7. Silicon disulfide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_disulfide

   Silicon disulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula Si S 2. Like silicon dioxide , this material is polymeric , but it adopts a 1-dimensional structure quite different from the usual forms of SiO 2 .

8. Fused quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

   This equation is valid between 0.21 and 3.71 μm and at 20 °C. [17] Its validity was confirmed for wavelengths up to 6.7 μm. [ 4 ] Experimental data for the real (refractive index) and imaginary (absorption index) parts of the complex refractive index of fused quartz reported in the literature over the spectral range from 30 nm to 1000 μm ...

9. Yttrium orthovanadate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttrium_orthovanadate

   Yttrium orthovanadate (YVO 4) is a transparent crystal.Undoped YVO 4 is also used to make efficient high-power polarizing prisms similar to Glan–Taylor prisms. [1]There are two principal applications for doped yttrium orthovanadate:
