“…The temperature dependence of the refractive index in this wavelength range is reported to be in the order of dn/dT=−5×10 −4 K for all the investigated pure organic components (Bertie and Lan, 1995;El-Kashef, 1998;Li et al, 1994). Various other studies of the refractive index, n(λ), of organic liquids report values at one single wavelength, 590 nm, and some of them are relevant to atmospheric conditions (Aminabhavi et al, 1996;Cases et al, 2001;De Lorenzi et al, 1997;Gomez-Diaz et al, 2001;Ritzoulis and Fidantsi, 2000;Segade et al, 2003). The results from these studies are consistent with the values presented in Fig.…”
