Complex refractive index of hemoglobin in the wavelength range from 250 to 1100 nm

摘要

In this paper the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index of hemoglobin solutions were determined in the wavelength range of 250 to 1100 nm using Fresnel reflectance and transmittance measurements. The determined real parts of the refractive indices are on average 0.02 units higher than the values found in the literature.
