Abstract
A conventional laser microscope can be used to derive the index of refractivity by the ratio of geometrical height of the transparent platelet to the apparent height of the normal incident light for very small crystals in the wide size range. We demonstrate that the simple method is effective for the samples from 100 μm to 16 μm in size using alkali halide crystals as a model system. The method is also applied for the surface fractured micro-crystals and an inclined crystal with microscopic size regime. Furthermore, we present two-dimensional refractive index mapping as well as two-dimensional height profile for the mixture of three alkali halides, KCl, KI, and NaCl, all are μm in size.
