Abstract
The Zygo interferometer for measuring refractive index of liquids such as h eavy water is presented. The accuracy of measurement in the refractive inde x of liquids is found to be +/-0.0002 in the Zygo interferometer. An applic ation of Zygo interferometer for heavy water analysis is also presented. Th e interferometer. is found to be useful for determining the percentage puri ty of heavy water with an accuracy of +/-5% in the purity range of 0-100%. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
