Paper Abstract

The low-coherence interferometric technique is proposed for the in-situ measurement of the refractive index of dispersive samples with high accuracy. A tandem configuration of a Michelson interferometer and a triangular interferometer is used to compensate for the chirping effect which results from the broad spectrum of the light source. Thick samples can be successfully measured with the low- coherence interferometer, therefore the relative accuracy of the refractive index can be improved.
