Abstract

The paper discusses the peculiarities in measuring the refractive index of a liquid by means of detector using a plane-parallel plate as a simple measuring element and collimated light beam from laser diode. It is shown that, thanks to the splitting of refracted beam into two components at the exit face of the measuring element, it is possible to achieve resolution of the detector about 10^-5 within the whole range of refractive index measurements.
