13、United States1The term, “dispersion,” is commonly used in lieu of the more complete expression, “reciprocal relative partial dispersion.” Adispersion-number can be defined to represent the refractive index as a function of wavelength over a selected wavelength-range;that is, it is a combined measure

14、 of both the amount that the index changes and the non-linearity of the index versus wavelengthrelationship.3.1.2 resolution, nas expressed in power of 10, a commonly used term used to express the accuracy of a test method in termsof the decimal place of the last reliably measured digit of the refra

Asan example, if the last reliably measured digit is in the fifth decimal place, the method would be designated a 10-5 method.3.2 Symbols:n = index of refraction = Abbe-number; a representation of particular relative partial dispersionsD =

Significance and Use4.1 MeasurementThe refractive index at any wave

18、length of a piece of homogeneous glass is a function, primarily, of itscomposition, and secondarily, of its state of annealing. The index of a glass can be altered over a range of up to 110-4 (that is,1 in the fourth decimal place) by the changing of an annealing schedule. This is a critical conside

19、ration for optical glasses, thatis, glasses intended for use in high performance optical instruments where the required value of an index can be as exact as 110-6.Compensation for minor variations of composition are made by controlled rates of annealing for such optical glasses; therefore,the abilit

20、y to measure index to six decimal places can be a necessity; however, for most commercial and experimental glasses,standard annealing schedules appropriate to each are used to limit internal stress and less rigorous methods of test for refractiveindex are usually adequate. The refractive indices of

21、glass ophthalmic lens pressings are held to 510-4 because the tools used forgenerating the figures of ophthalmic lenses are made to produce curvatures that are related to specific indices of refraction of thelens materials.4.2 DispersionDispersion-values aid optical designers in their selection of g

22、lasses (Note 1). Each relative partialdispersion-number is calculated for a particular set of three wavelengths, and several such numbers, representing different partsof the spectrum might be used when designing more complex optical systems. For most glasses, dispersion increases withincreasing refr

23、active index. For the purposes of this standard, it is sufficient to describe only two reciprocal relative partialdispersions that are commonly used for characterizing glasses. The longest established practice has been to cite the Abbe-number(or Abbe -value), calculated by:D 5nD 21!/nF 2nC! (1)where

29、ns (Eq 1 and 2) is that smaller -values correspond to larger dispersions. For-values accurate to 1 to 4 %, index measurements must be accurate to 110-4; therefore, citing -values from less accurate testmethods might not be useful.NOTE 1For lens-design, some computer ray-tracing programs use data dir

30、ectly from the tabulation of refractive indices over the full wavelength rangeof measurement.NOTE 2Because smaller -values represent larger physical dispersions, the term constringence is used in some texts instead of dispersion.5. Precision, Bias, and Accuracy (see Terminology E456)5.1 PrecisionThe

31、 precision of a method is affected by several of its aspects which vary among methods. One aspect is theability of the operator to repeat a setting on the observed optical indicator that is characteristic of the method. Another aspect isthe repeatability of the coincidence of the measurement scale o

32、f the instrument and the optical indicator (magnitude of dead-bandor backlash); this, too, varies among methods. A third aspect is the repeatability of the operators reading of the measurement scale.Usually, determinations for a single test specimen and for the reference piece should be repeated sev

33、eral times and the resultingscale readings averaged after discarding any obvious outliers.5.2 Bias (Systematic Error):5.2.1 Absolute MethodsTwo of the test methods are absolute; the others are comparison methods. The absolute methods arethe prism spectrometer and the apparent depth of microscope foc

34、us. These yield measures of refractive index of the specimen inair. In the case of the prism spectrometer, when used for determinations of 110-6, correction to the index in vacuum (the intrinsicproperty of the material) can be calculated from the known index of air, given its temperature, pressure,

35、and relative humidity. Theaccuracy of the apparent depth method is too poor for correction to vacuum to be meaningful. Bias of the prism spectrometerdepends upon the accuracy of its divided circle. The bias of an index determination must not be greater than one-half of the leastcount of reading the

36、scale of the divided circle. For a spectrometer capable of yielding index values accurate to 110 -6, the biasmust be not greater than 510-7. Bias of the apparent depth method depends on the accuracy of the device for measuring thedisplacement of the microscope stage; it is usually appreciable smalle

37、r than the precision of the measurement, as explained in 7.6.5.2.2 Comparison MethodsAll of the comparison methods rely upon using a reference material, the index of which is knownto an accuracy that is greater than what can be achieved by the measurements of the given method itself; therefore, the

38、bias of thesemethods is the uncertainty of the specified refractive index of the reference material, provided that the instruments scale is linearover the range within which the test-specimen and the reference are measured. The bias introduced by non-linearity of the scalecan be compensated by calib

39、rating the scale over its range with reference pieces having indices that are distributed over the rangeof the scale. A table of scale-corrections can be made for ready reference, or a computer program can be used; using this, the scalereading for a single reference piece is entered and then correct

40、ed indices are generated for each scale reading made for a set oftest specimens. For a single measurement, scale correction can be made by first measuring the test specimen and then measuringthe calibrated reference piece that has the nearest index. In this case, the scale is corrected only in the v

41、icinity where the readingsare made.5.2.3 Test SpecimenDeviations of a test specimen from its ideal configuration can contribute a bias. For 110-6 refractometry,specimen preparation must be of the highest order and specimens are tested for acceptability for use. Bias introduced by a testspecimen vari

42、es in its manifestation with the type of test method and nature of the deviation from ideal. This consideration isaddressed in the descriptions of individual test methods.5.3 AccuracyThe limiting accuracies of the several test methods are given. The operator must estimate whether and how mucha given

43、 test measurement deviates from that limit. The estimate should take into account the observed uncertainty of identifyingwhere to set on the optical indicator (see 7.6, for example) as well as the precision of such settings. Specific considerations aregiven in the descriptions of the test methods.NO

44、TE 3The Subcommittee did not conduct an Inter-laboratory Study (as normally required) to quantify the Precision and Bias of Methods discussedin this Standard. The cited accuracies of the test methods are based on experience.TEST METHODS6. Becke Line (Method of Central Illumination)6.1 Summary of the

45、 MethodNot-too-finely ground particles of the glass for testing are immersed in a calibrated refractiveindex oil and are examined with a microscope of moderate magnification. With a particle in focus, if the indices of the oil and theglass match exactly, the particle is not seen; no boundary between

46、 oil and glass is visible. If the indices differ, a boundary is seenas a thin, dark line at the boundary of the particle with either the particle or the oil appearing lighter. The line appears darker asthe indices differ more; however, which material has the higher index is not indicated. When the f

47、ocal plane of the microscope ismoved above or below the plane of the particle (usually by lowering or elevating the stage of the microscope), one side of theboundary appears lighter and the other side appears darker than the average brightness of the field. When the focus is above theC1648 123plane

48、of the glass particle, a bright line next to the boundary appears in the medium of higher index. This is the “Becke line”;conversely, when the focus is below the plane of the particle, the bright line appears in the medium of lower index. Successivechanges of oil, using new glass particles, lead by

49、trial and error to a bracketing of the index of the particle between the pair of oilsthat match most closely (or to an exact match). Visual interpolation can provide resolution to about one fourth of the differencebetween the indices of the two oils. The physical principle underlying the method is that of total internal reflection at the boundary,within the medium of higher index. This is illustrated by a ray diagram, Fig. 1(a). Visual appearances are illustrated in Fig. 1(b),Fig.1(c), and Fig. 1(d), where different d
