DOCCD Samples and Spectra

We provide optical constants of astrophysically relevant solid materials (silicates, oxides, carbonaceous, …) derived from transmission and/or reflection spectra of polished bulk samples (natural, commercial, synthetic) measured over various spectral ranges. In several cases, spectra measured on different samples (of the same material) and with different instruments are combined in order to derive data covering a large wavelength range. In case of crystalline materials, data for different polarization directions are often given. Data for low (and sometimes high) temperatures are also available.

Data entered so far include the following materials:
