Refractive index of polystyrene: Data sources Parent topic
 
Table 1. Sources of experimental data on the complex refractive index of polystyrene
 
Wavelength, λ, range, µm Real/Imag. Reference
 0.015 - 2.07  real  Inagaki et al (1977) b
 0.040 - 0.3  both  Carter et al (1966) b
 0.275 - 0.32  both  Chen et al (2003) d
 0.37 - 1.61  both  Ma et al (2003) p
 0.42 - 0.62  real  Matheson and Saunderson (1952) b
 0.436 - 1.052  real  Nikolow and Ivanov 2000 b
 
b - bulk material
d - real part: a Cauchy equation fit of Matheson and Saunderson (1952) to their data; imaginary part: an approximation based on fitting an absorption spectrum of polystyrene dissolved in chloroform, as reported by Li et a. (1991)
p - particulate material
