Refractive,dispersive and thermo-optic properties of twelve organic solvents in the visible and near-infrared

We report on experimental measurements of the refractive index of twelve organic solvents at five different wavelengths (450, 532, 632.8, 964 and 1,551 nm) and a temperature of 300 K. Based on these new data visible to near-infrared dispersion relations are constructed. Group-velocity dispersion (GVD) is theoretically calculated. Zero- and negative-GVD situations are identified for two common solvents in near-infrared wavelengths. Via comparison with refractive index data available in bibliography, estimated values of thermo-optic coefficients are also presented.
