Talk:List of coefficients of Sellmeier equation

A good source of Sellmeier coefficients: www.cvilaser.com/Common/PDFs/Dispersion_Equations.pdf

Some more Sellmeier coefficients from http://ocw.mit.edu/NR/rdonlyres/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-977Spring-2005/7FFDC80B-4945-4885-B7A4-4CEE2A44F105/0/chapter2.pdf page 35 of the PDF or page 55, as numbered in the lecture notes:

Fused Quartz Sapphire

a1 0.6961663 1.023798

a2 0.4079426 1.058364

a3 0.8974794 5.280792

λ 2 1 4.679148·10e −3 3.77588·10e−3

λ 2 2 1.3512063·10e −2 1.22544·10e−2

λ 2 3 0.9793400·10e 2 3.213616·10e2

The only problem with this data is that equation 2.201 gives a different form for this Sellmeier equation, with lambda in the numerator as opposed to the lambda^2 which is standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellmeier_Equation

This must be a typo, as those Sellmeier coefficients are verified elsewhere.
