Needle-based refractive index measurement using low-coherence interferometry.
We present a novel needle-based device for the measurement of refractive index and scattering using low-coherence interferometry. Coupled to the sample arm of an optical coherence tomography system, the device detects the scattering response of, and optical path length through, a sample residing in a fixed-width channel. We report use of the device to make near-infrared measurements of tissues ...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurement of refractive index and thickness by combining low-coherence interferometry and confocal optics.
We propose and demonstrate novel methods that enable simultaneous measurements of the phase index, the group index, and the geometrical thickness of an optically transparent object by combining optical low-coherence interferometer and confocal optics. The low-coherence interferometer gives information relating the group index with the thickness, while the confocal optics allows access to the ph...
متن کاملScanning focused refractive-index microscopy
We present a novel scanning focused refractive-index microscopy (SFRIM) technique to obtain the refractive index (RI) profiles of objects. The method uses a focused laser as the light source, and combines the derivative total reflection method (DTRM), projection magnification, and scanning technique together. SFRIM is able to determine RIs with an accuracy of 0.002, and the central spatial reso...
متن کاملRefractive index determination
The central focal masking ("dispersion staining") technique is convenient and effective for determining the refractive index of a microfragment by the immersion method and for distinguishing between minerals in an immersion mount. For most microscopes the only modification needed is the installation of a small opaque dot at or near the focal point of the medium power objective. White light illu...
متن کاملAnalyzing refractive index profiles of confined fluids by interferometry.
This work describes an interferometry data analysis method for determining the optical thickness of thin films or any variation in the refractive index of a fluid or film near a surface. In particular, the method described is applied to the analysis of interferometry data taken with a surface force apparatus (SFA). The technique does not require contacting or confining the fluid or film. By ana...
