Abstract

By using two optical fibers and a capillary it is possible to measure the refractive index of liquids. Light leaving a fiber is sent transversally to a capillary that behaves as a cylindrical lens when liquids are inserted in it. Focused light is collected by a second fiber and sent to a detector.
