This information should be available in a book by Palik, called Optical
Properties of......, or Handbook of Optical Constants, or some-such similar
title. The essential information is that the book is by Palik, so with any
decent library cataloguing system, you should be able to find it.

Subject: Optical properties n, k


Dear colleagues,

I would like to know the optical properties of different materials and
gases. More precisely, I am looking for the complex refractive index (n and
k) of the following materials/gases around the wavelength of 4.26
micrometers:

- Carbone dioxide CO2,
- Corning pyrex glass 7740,
- Silicon dioxide SiO2 (thermally grown),
- Silicon nitride SiN,
- Silicon
- Air

Does anyone know where I could find such information?

Thank you.
