Abstract
The wavelength-dependent refractive index of a bacteriorhodopsin thin film is measured by the use of a modified critical-angle technique. Th e effect of the host bovine skin gelatin on the refractive index is an alyzed. The measured data on the thin film can be useful for system ap plications. The methods and procedures are generally applicable to any optically absorbing thin films.
