  • Abstract
    Using high-resolution optical reflectometry, group index and physical thickness can both be determined by precisely measuring optical time delays through a sample. Optical low-coherence reflectometry offers both the high-spatial resolution and large dynamic range required to perform accurate measurements using this technique.<>
