Abstract
A new method for measuring the refractive index is presented, First, t he phase difference between s and p polarizations that is due to the t otal internal reflection is measured by heterodyne interferometry. The n, substituting this phase difference into the Fresnel equations, we c an obtain the refractive index of the test medium. (C) 1997 Optical So ciety of America.
