Refractive Index of Alkali Halides and Its Wavelength and Temperature Derivatives H. H. Li Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47906 Refractive index data for 20 alkali halide" are l>yhRII<:tiv,.ly "Ilrvpyprl, p.ompil,.rl. !mel !malyzNi. The most probable values at 293 K for the transparent ref"ion are generated for the materials for which experimental data are sufficiently abundant and reli\lble. Provisional values are also provided for the wavelen~th regions where available data are insufficient or missing. Rea!;Oonable estimations of refrac tive index for the very scantily measured materials were made by incorporatinl! the dielectric constants and wavelengths of absorption peaks into a simplified dispersion equation. Temperature derivatives of refractive index for most of the alkali halides were unavailable. However, using the existing data for the five most commonly used alkali halides, novel empirical facts were discovered and dn/dT for mllIR" w~rp p.on"trtl('tprl for !-Ill of the alkali halides. The calculated dnldT values agree remarkably well with the existing experimental data. Key words: Alkali halides: optical constants: refractive index: temperature coefficient of refractive index.
