Development of a permanent vacuum hollow prism air refractometer for use in dimensional metrology

Abstract Refractive index measurements are required when light is used as the basis of a measurement system. In dimensional metrology, refractive index measurements are used to compensate for the change in the speed of light. This is crucial because the SI unit for the metre is defined as the speed...
