This page features several lists of refractive index values from various sources.
List #1 covers the refractive index of many materials for substrates, thin film deposition and the like.
List #2 covers selected organic compounds (scroll to bottom of page).

List #1
NOTES:
1 For data files linked to list #1, all wavelength units in Angstroms (unless explicitly specified otherwise)
2 Materials may be spread out under different filenames. For examples, ZnS may be under c-ZnS (cubic) or under ir-ZnS (infrared).
Luxpop would like to thank David Windt him for letting this list be put on this site. Further information about his work can be found at www.rxollc.com .Luxpop also thanks Mark Sulkes for his assistance in this matter.
