摘要
We present a method to independently measure the refractive index and the thickness of materials having flat and parallel sides by using a combination of Michelson and Fabry-Perot interferometry techniques. The method has been used to deter-mine refractive-index values in the infrared with uncertainties in the third decimal place and thicknesses accurate to within +/-5 mum for materials at room and cryogenic temperatures.
