E. Degiorgi et al., A CELL OF VARIABLE THICKNESS FOR OPTICAL STUDIES OF HIGHLY ABSORBING LIQUIDS, Measurement science & technology, 6(7), 1995, pp. 929-931
A new design of a simple and inexpensive optical cell of variable thic
kness for absorption coefficient measurements in highly absorbing liqu
ids is presented. The cell, which can be also used with highly corrosi
ve samples and up to temperatures of 300 degrees C, is suitable for me
asurements from the near infrared up to near ultraviolet. As an exampl
e, the absorption spectrum of liquid iodine measured over six decades
is reported.
