Talk:Indium phosphide

Practical use
Could someone confirms that this higher velocity means Indium phosphide could help make faster computers? If that holds true, what would be the consequences on Moore’s Law? David Latapie (✒ | @) 09:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Graph & formula do not match
The article presents a formula and a graph for the index of refraction of InP; they are inconsistent. For example, the formula yields an "n" of 3.326 at 1 micron, whereas the graph (and its accompanying text) list about 3.47 at 1 micron.

Can someone tell which (if either) is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.222.73 (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

This part below is deleted from the article because
 * it is inconsistent, as mentioned above (which inconsistency I confirm); the figure is a wrong reproduction of the empirical formula (i.e. fit of missing experimental data), for which no source is provided.
 * it unbalances this article which desperately needs basic properties, not rare ones.

Optical properties (removed from the article)
The Sellmeier equation that describes how the optical refractive index for indium phosphide depends on wavelength is given by $$ n^2(\lambda) = 7.255 + \frac{2.316 \lambda^2 }{ \lambda^2 - 0.6263^2} + \frac{2.765 \lambda^2 }{ \lambda^2 - 32.935^2}, $$ where λ is the wavelength in micrometres.

This gives refractive index values rising from around 3.21 at 10 µm and 3.32 at 1.5 µm to 3.47 at 1.0 µm.

More citations.
I have added some citations to other websites in the section that need more citations. If you need anything or need to report anything go to ẞots talks. Thanks people for responding so I could add more citations. EBots Ele ẞots talks 02:32, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
