In this paper, we develop a method to measure the refractive index of liquid at different temperatures applying the femtosecond laser frequency comb. The measurement principle is to test the phase changes of the measuring signal caused by light traveling through the liquid, then calculating the refractive index according to the phase difference between water and air. The experiment on measuring the water refractive index at temperature from 20 o C to 60 o C was performed, and the measuring results show a satisfactory accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
