Term: complex refractive index
Synonym1:
Synonym2:
Synonym3:
Symbol: ˆn(λ)
Definition: complex value where the real part is the refractive index and the imaginary part is related to the spectral absorption index

ˆn(λ)=n(λ)iκ(λ)

where n(λ) is the refractive index at wavelength λ, κ(λ) is the spectral absorption index and i=1

Note 1 to entry: The complex refractive index has unit one.

Note 2 to entry: This entry was numbered 845-04-103 in IEC 60050-845:1987.
