[0029] As Figures 4-5As shown in the schematic diagram, the improved Michelson interferometer consists of four main components: light source S, beam splitter G1, reflectors M1M2, and a cuvette and biprism assembly for liquid. The liquid container is mounted on a transverse transmission mechanism and driven by a spiral drum to achieve nanometer-level lateral movement and precise refractive index measurement. The light beam from light source S is split into two paths by beam splitter G1. After reflection, the light beam is coherently superimposed on the receiving screen, forming alternating light and dark interference ring fringes. This is recorded via video and then imported into a MATLAB program to read the number of fringes and the lateral movement distance for refractive index calculation.
[0030] First, the refractive index of the composite device is measured , the refractive index of air is approximately 1, since the optical path difference satisfies:
[0031] Where n1 is the number of fringes emerging (sinking) from the center of the observation screen, is the wavelength of the HeNe laser used. Therefore, the refractive index of the composite device is:
[0032]
[0033] The distance d that the light beam travels in the composite device can be given by the following formula:
[0034]
[0035] in is the distance the composite device moves laterally, is the wedge angle of the double prism. Fill the composite device with the liquid to be tested and ensure that the upper surface of the composite device is in complete contact with the flat glass surface without any bubbles.
[0036] In this configuration, the refractive index of the liquid to be measured is expression.
[0037]
[0038] According to equation (4), by measuring and averaging the lateral movement distances on both sides of the double wedge, the measurement deviation caused by the incomplete parallelism of the wedge angles can be effectively eliminated. And thanks to the unique structure of the double air wedge, there is no need to measure the wedge angles on both sides of the double air wedge independently. Only the double prism wedge angle needs to be determined. This can be used to obtain the initial liquid refractive index, and then the optical path is moved to the point where there is no wedge in the composite device, such as Figure TwoThe interference fringes can be observed in the light screen. When the composite device is filled with the liquid to be measured, the liquid is heated by the heating lamp, and after reaching a certain temperature, the temperature is naturally cooled. During the cooling process, the refractive index of the liquid changes with the change of the temperature, so that the optical path of the light through the container changes. At this time, the number of changes of the interference fringes can describe the change of the optical path. Assuming that the refractive index of the liquid changes by△n after the temperature of the liquid decreases by 1℃. Since the light passes through the entire container during the entire process, the optical path difference can be represented as:
[0039]
[0040] where N is the number of interference fringes per 1℃ decrease, is the height of the light passing through the container, is the wavelength of the helium-neon laser. Thus, the relative change rate can be obtained as:
[0041]
[0042] The corresponding fitting formula can be obtained by combining the above formulae:
[0043]
[0044] where, represents the refractive index of the liquid corresponding to t0, is the refractive index of the liquid corresponding to different temperatures, is the temperature coefficient of the medium.
[0045] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents. These modifications or replacements will not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
