Abstract
We present a method for measuring the refractive index (RI) and spectral characteristics of transparent triangular prisms based on the minimum deviation technique. The proposed method has been developed to automatically measure RI simultaneously for three different wavelengths to determine the spectral dependence of RI. A high precision dynamic goniometer with a He-Ne ring laser and continuously rotating autocollimation mirror was used to implement the proposed method. A set of reference prisms made of optical glass were experimentally studied and the measurement uncertainty budget was estimated. The obtained values of the expanded measurement uncertainty did not exceed 4.6 × 10−6 for near-infrared and 1.2 × 10−5 for visible wavelength ranges with a coverage factor k = 2 (95% level of confidence). It is shown that this method can be used for high-precision measurements of the RI and determine the spectral characteristics.
