Measurement of group refractive indices of glass using a color-selective multi-pulse generated with a spatial light modulator
We demonstrate a method of measuring group refractive indices ( ) by using only a temporal waveform of a color-selective multi-pulse (CSMP) generated with a spatial-light-modulator-based optical pulse shaper. Each pulse of the CSMP is characterized by different spectral components. Thus, of a sample...

Summary: | We demonstrate a method of measuring group refractive indices (
) by using only a temporal waveform of a color-selective multi-pulse (CSMP) generated with a spatial-light-modulator-based optical pulse shaper. Each pulse of the CSMP is characterized by different spectral components. Thus,
of a sample can be estimated by calculating the group delay of the spectrally different pulses in the CSMP after passing through the sample. As a proof-of-concept, we measured
of a glass plate by using a CSMP. We confirmed that the measured
values were in agreement with those derived from Sellmeier's formula with an accuracy on the order of 10
