Optical Constants of Germanium in the Region 0–10 ev

Abstract
A program has been written for the IBM 650 Digital Computer to evaluate the Kramers‐Kronig dispersion relation between real and imaginary parts of the index of refraction, n and k. By this means measurement of the reflection coefficient over a sizable energy range allows the determination of n and k throughout most of this region. Reflection data of Philipp and Taft on germanium have been analyzed in this way, and the results are compared with those of Philipp and Taft obtained by another method. The results are similar, minor differences occurring in the fine structure. The computer program is available on request.
