Abstract
This review covers experimental methods and results for the determinat ion of refractive index. It discusses various empirical relations betw een refractive index and energy gap (Moss relation, Ravindra and Gopal formulae and the Wemple DiDomenico approach). Effects of free carrier s and temperature are included. Finally, the Kramers Kronig transforma tion of absorption or reflection spectra is considered.
