title: Note: Index of refraction measurement using the Fresnel equations.
abstract: The real part of the refractive index is measured from 1.30 to above 3.00 without the use of index matching fluids. This approach expands upon the Brewster angle technique as both S and P polarized lights are used and the full Fresnel equations fitted to the data to extract the index of refraction using nonlinear curve fitting.
