Refractometers are versatile in their design and use, and are able to provide results as refractive indices, or in other cases, as direct measurements of parameters such as soluble solids, sugar ...

Southampton optical circuit start-up Stratophase has developed a sensor that can measure the refractive index of liquids to better than one part in a million (1ppm). After the team got their prototype ...

We can also use wavelengths to calculate refractive index. By substituting \(v_{1}=f\lambda _{1}\) and \(v_{2}=f\lambda _{2}\) into \(n=\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}\) then ...

The Brix scale, derived from the refractive index of a solution at 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit), is widely known. Originally, it was established by determining the weight percentage of sucrose ...

On-chip refractive-index monitors suit industrial process control and biodetection, as the UK company seeks commercialization partners. Winning venture capital (VC) funding is a major milestone for ...

In its current form, the new diffuser could be used to calibrate a wide range of imaging systems, but the researchers believe that their mechanism could ultimately lead to holographic video screens or ...

Light bends when travelling through a concentration gradient of sugar in water. The top layer of liquid is pure water while the bottom layer is concentrated sugar water. In these layers, there is no ...

The applications of spectroscopic ellipsometry for the precise characterization of liquid-liquid and liquid-air interfaces include surface science, biomedical applications, thin film coatings, and ...
