The article proposes a method for measuring the refractive index using a goniometric system that does not require measuring the prism angle, which simplifies the measurement process compared to the widely used methods of minimum deviation and autocollimation. This method can be used to measure the refractive index of samples in the form of triangular prisms in the visible, ultraviolet and infrared ranges. To implement the method, a goniometric system was used. To obtain the reflection of the refracted beam, a fixed mirror was used, and the refractive index of the prism material was calculated from the solution of a system of equations. The results of an experimental study of a triangular prism made of optical glass N-BK7 using the proposed method and their comparison with the data obtained on the State Primary Standard of the Refractive Index Unit GET 138-2021 are presented.
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.
