Rezumat: Possible optical applications of polymer materials are defined mainly by their index of refraction, determined with sufficiently high accuracy. Proper choice of measuring technique depends on the material, sample size and thickness. We have examined various types of optical plastics in the form of bulk bodies as well as thin film layers. Different methods were applied to measure their refractive index values at a number of wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared regions. Classical refractometry as well as a goniometric set-up with laser illumination or white lightning source with interference filters have been used to measure bulk samples. Additionally, two types of laser microrefractometers were assembled to receive accurate data in case of thin films. Detailed metrological analysis is presented. Reported refractive and dispersive data as well as proposed measuring techniques are useful in polymer applications in the design of contemporary optical systems.
