Refractive index of optical material of powder is measured not as easily as a bulk material. Here, the prism coupling technique in combination with the immersion method is proposed to measure the refractive index of an optical material of powder. First, the powder material to be measured was dispersed in α-bromonaphthalene (CHBr) liquid to form a suspension mixture. The refractive index of the mixture, together with that of pure CHBr, was then measured at the wavelengths of 632.8, 1311, and 1553 nm using a commercial prism coupler. From the measured index values of pure CHBr and powder-dispersed mixture, the refractive index of the powder material was obtained on the basis of the Maxwell-Garnett model. Microcrystal powder from a LiNbO single-crystal, which has the known refractive index values, has been exemplified to demonstrate the method. The results show that the method is feasible with an accuracy of ±0.05.

We introduce the reflection intensity correlation scan (RICO-scan), a nonlinear (NL) optical technique designed to characterize opaque and scattering media, where traditional transmittance methods fail. By analyzing variations in the intensity correlation functions of speckle patterns generated from backscattered light, the RICO-scan was applied to an unpolished silicon surface and silicon powders, providing information on the intensity dependence of the complex refractive index. Numerical simulations based on Fresnel equations and speckle propagation corroborated the experimental results, demonstrating RICO-scan's robustness and versatility.

Silicon particles of intermediate sizes (75-200 nm) scatter visible wavelengths, making them promising candidates for optical devices. The solution synthesis of silicon particles in this size range, however, has proved challenging for chemists over the past few decades. Here, a solution-phase synthesis provides a pathway toward reaching size tunability between 45 and 230 nm via changing the reactant ratio in the reaction between a silicon Zintl phase (NaSi) with an amidinate-stabilized Si(IV) coordination complex.
