2. Refractive index metrology
2.1 Refraction methods
The study of geometrical optics led to the notion of light rays propagating in a straight line, at constant speed, through homogeneous media. This led to the establishment of the simple Snell-Descartes laws of reflection and refraction.
Consider a light ray incident at the interface of two media of respective indices n 1 and n 2 (figure
