Calculation of refractive indices using Buchdahl's

chromatic coordinate

Paul N. Robb and R. 1. Mercado

In this paper we have completed an error analysis of the Buchdahl glass model for 813 glasses available from
five manufacturers. A quadratic model has a standard deviation of 0.00002 and a maximum absolute error
of 0.0001 in the visible spectral region. A cubic model has a standard deviation of 0.00005 and a maximum
absolute error of 0.00026 over the full spectral region from 0.365 to 1.014 ,um. A table giving the Buchdahl
fitting coefficients for all the glasses, as well as the standard deviation and maximum error for each glass, is
included for the quadratic model. The results indicate that the Buchdahl model is ideally suited for theo-
retical studies of refracting optical systems.

1. Introduction With this problem in mind, in 1954 Buchdahl2 in-

A great variety of mathematical forms have been
developed over the years to represent the index of re-
fraction of optical glasses as a function of wavelength.
A summary of these well-knowninterpolation formulas
has been given by Smith. 1
In recent years, a power series derived from a quan-
tum model has come into nearly universal use. This
equation has the form of a Laurent's series wherein the
coefficients are obtained from a least-squares fit of
measured indices averaged over several melts. The
equation gives the square of the index of refraction as
a function of wavelength. All the glass manufacturers
supply these fitting coefficients as part of the standard
glass catalogs so that the designer can compute the
index of refraction at wavelengths other than solar
emission lines.
One of the great obstacles to developing tractable
theoretical models of the dispersive behavior of lens
systems has been the lack of an equation which predicts
the refractive index in a form such as
N=ao+alX+a 2 X 2
+...+akXk,
where the ak coefficients are determined by the glass
type and the independent variable X is related to
wavelength. None of the historical models cited by
Smith has this mathematical form, nor does the equa-
tion based on the quantum model.

troduced a change of variables from wavelength Xto a
chromatic coordinate c, derived from an analysis of the
Hartmann equation, and developed a power series
having the required mathematical form. In fact, Bu-
chdahl's model is simply
N =No+V1 + V22 + V3W3
+.. + VkWk. (2)
Sands2 used a modification of this model in his devel-
opment of the theory of inhomogeneous lenses.
It is worth noting at this point that a model designed
for theoretical studies of refracting optical systems need
not have the full accuracy of the data given in the glass
catalogs, that is, an error residual of about five parts in
the sixth decimal place. What is required is that the
model should be sufficiently accurate so that conclu-
sions derived from its use are not misleading. Ste-
phens 4 demonstrated that a superachromatic prism,
designed using catalog data for three glass types, could
indeed be manufactured provided that the design was
modified to use the actual melt indices. This suggests
(1) that a theoretical model should have an accuracy com-
parable to that of precision glass melts, which can be
supplied to an index accuracy of 0.0002.
We have completed an error analysis of the Buchdahl
model for all the glasses available from Schott, 5 Ohara, 6
Hoya, 7 Corning-France, 8 and Chance 9 for a total sample
size of 813 glasses. Our results indicate that a quadratic
model has a maximum absolute error of 0.0001 in the
visible range from 0.4 to 0.7 gtm. This is twice as accu-
rate as precision glass melts. The inclusion of another
term, to order 3, is sufficient to match the accuracy of
precision melts over the extended spectral range from
0.365 Aumto 1.014 ,um.
In this paper we briefly discuss the development of
the quantum power series, the origin and form of the

Buchdahl model, and the results of the error analysis
for the two spectral ranges of interest. Fitting coeffi-
cients for the quadratic model are included for all of the
optical glasses.
11. Quantum Model
The quantum model of the index of refraction was
developed considering absorption frequencies as elec-
tron energy level transitions. The equation is
n2 - I=
Y_ Fij
e2
n2 + 2 3irmij V-V2
where n = refractive index,
e = electronic charge,
m = electronic mass,
Fij = number of dispersion electrons,
vij = absorption frequency, and
v = frequency (v = CIX).
The index of refraction of glasses in a spectral range not
containing absorption frequencies can be approximat-
ed10 as a series expansion of Eq. (3). This gives the
following equation, which is the standard equation used
by the glass manufacturers:
n2= AO + A1X2 + A 2 X- 2 + A 3X- 4 + A 4X- 6 + A 5X-8.
The constants Ao ... A5 are computed using the method
of least squares for measured refractive indices averaged
over several melts over a spectral range from 0.365 to
1.014gm. The formula allows the refractive index to
be computed at any wavelength within this spectral
range to an accuracy of plus or minus five parts in the
sixth decimal place. Refractive indices obtained from
Eq. (4) were assumed to be error-free in our analysis of
the accuracy of the Buchdahl model; the error at a given
wavelength is simply the index obtained from Eq. (4)
subtracted from the index obtained from Eq. (2).
111. Buchdahl Model
Attempts have been made to model the dispersive
properties of glasses using a Taylor series expansion in
AX, giving an equation of the form
AN = ao(AX) + a(AX\) 2 + a 2 (AX)3 +....
The difficulty with Eq. (5) is that the series converges
slowly, even for small values of AX, making it necessary
to carry a large number of terms to achieve satisfactory
accuracy. For theoretical studies, Eq. (5) becomes too
cumbersome for practical applications.
As a starting point, Buchdahl11 used the Hartmann
formula
N(X) = N +
c (6)
where N 1 , c, and Xi are constants characteristic
glass. Differentiating Eq. (6) with respect to X,he de-
veloped an equation of the form
AN=- a 2CAX
1 + aAX
Computing values of c and a for six glasses, Buchdahl
found that the values for a fell within rather narrow
bounds. This suggested that a could be adopted as a
constant applicable to all glasses, and that the appro-
priate value for a was, in fact, 2.5. Accordingly, he
adopted the definition
X- o
CO= (8)
1 + 2.5( - o)
where X0is a suitably chosen base or reference wave-
length, usually taken as yellowlight at a wavelength of
0.5876 Am.
Buchdahl called w a chromatic coordinate. While w
is related to AX, a very different result is obtained when
~~~~(3)
the index of refraction is expanded in a power series in
as
2
N = No + v1 + v2W + v3W3 + .... (9)
The series is now in a form which converges rapidly, and
this is the great advantage of the chromatic coordinate
w. It is this property of the Buchdahl equation which
makes it possible to model the optical glasses to an ac-
curacy twice as good as precision glass melts while using
only a quadratic equation.
In Eq. (9), No is the index of refraction at the base
wavelength. The V1, v2, and V3 coefficients are specific
(4)
to each glass and predict the dispersion at wavelengths
different from the base wavelength. The v, coefficient
models linear dispersion and is directly related to the
reciprocal of the Abbe V-number if the same wave-
lengths are used. Similarly, the 2 coefficient can be
regarded as the secondary dispersion coefficient.
It is perhaps remarkable that a constant such as a,
discovered from analyzing only six glasses, should prove
so universally applicable. We carried out the calcula-
tion of a for the 813 glasses and found that a varied
within a range of from 2.299to 2.960, with an average
value of 2.577. Buchdahl's adoption of 2.5 as a value
for a in introducing the chromatic coordinate was vir-
tually exact.
IV. Calculation of the Fitting Coefficients
Buchdahl calculated the coefficients of Eq. (9) using
indices for N wavelengths for polynomial order N, with
(5) the base wavelength chosen as yellow light at a wave-
length of 0.5893 m. This procedure is very easy to
implement, yielding a system of N simultaneous linear
equations in N unknowns, since Eq. (9) is linear in the
v coefficients.
We compared the above method with a least-squares
solution, using seven wavelengths in the visible and ten
for the extended spectral range, and found that the
maximum error could be reduced by a factor of 3 or
more. Adjustment of the least-squares weights and
base wavelength so as to further reduce the maximum
of the error gave a total error reduction of 5:1. The least-
squares method was adopted for all calculations.
The criterion used for optimizing the least-squares
weights and base wavelength was to minimize the max-
(7) imum error for all glasses,not to minimize the standard
deviation. These two criteria, while similar, do not give
identical results. The minimization of the maximum
error was considered more appropriate when dealing
with glasses, which are a collection of individuals, than

the more usual method of minimizing the standard

deviation or the average error. The wavelengths, base
wavelengths, and least-squares weights used for the two
spectral ranges are tabulated in Tables I and II.
V. Accuracy of the Buchdahl Model
The fitting coefficients for Eq. (9) were computed for
all glasses for polynomial orders from the first through
the fifth order. The number of decimal places obtained
is plotted based on the maximum error, not the stan-
dard deviation, against the order of the equation in Fig.
1.
The plots in Fig. 1 illustrate clearly that Eq. (9) ini-
tially converges rapidly and then the rate slows. It can
be seen from the figure that the quadratic model is en-
tirely adequate for work in the visible region, and that
it would generally not be necessary to go beyond a cubic
even over the extended spectral range, since the accu-
racy of the series increases slowly with order past the
third. Because the goal of this work was to obtain a
power series suitable for the theoretical studies-
therefore containing as few terms as possible-we have
selected the quadratic model as the preferred form for
work in the visible and the cubic model for work over the
extended spectral range.
VI. Quadratic and Cubic Models
A feature of the Buchdahl model, which is obvious but
easy to overlook, is that the error is always zero at the
base wavelength because cois zero and the index of re-
fraction is thus the index at the base wavelength[seeEq.
(9)]. The error over the rest of the spectral region, while
small, is not zero and varies rather markedly with
wavelength. For this reason, we have chosen to display
the error function in a variety of forms so that readers
can draw their own conclusions.
In Fig. 2, two perspective plots are used to show the
number of glasses having a given error as a function of
wavelength. The leftmost plot in Fig. 2 is a plot of the
number of glasses vs wavelength, and it illustrates
clearly that the vast majority of glasses have errors less
than about five parts in the fifth decimal place. The
perspective plot on the right-hand side of Fig. 2 has the
logarithm of the number of glasses plotted against
wavelength so that the few glasses which contribute to
the maximum error may be seen.
Figure 3 is a plot of the error envelope of the glass
population; all glasses analyzed fit within this envelope,
and the function may be regarded as a vertical view of
the perspective plots of Fig. 2. Figure 4 is a plot of the
absolute index error as a function of wavelength, and the
curves shown for 776 and 810 glasses correspond to the
2 and 3 sigma points in the distribution. The jagged
behavior of the latter curve is due to the sparse glass
population at some of the wavelengths and to the size
of the wavelength sampling interval. Figures 5-7
present the same information for the cubic glass model
over the extended spectral region from 0.365 to 1.014
,um.
Tables III and IV list the standard deviation and
maximum errors for the quadratic and cubic models for
each of the five manufacturers. Table V lists the Bu-
chdahl fitting coefficients for all the glasses and gives
the standard deviation over the wavelength band, the
maximum error, and the wavelength at which the
maximum error occurred for the quadratic model in the
visible spectral region from 0.4 to 0.7 ,um. A similar
table for the cubic model over the extended spectral
region from 0.365 to 1.014,um is available from the au-
thors on request.

 For the quadratic model we have plotted in Fig. 8 the
coordinates (,v 2 ) for 806 of the 813 glasses listed in
Table V. Seven glasses were omitted from the figure
to improve the resolution of the remaining glass points.
Figure 8 may be regarded as completely characterizing
the dispersive properties of these glasses in the visible
region. A similar figure for the cubic model would re-
quire a 3-D representation which is difficult to use in
graphic form and is therefore not included in this paper.
The application of the Buchdahl model to the problem
of selection of glasses in optical design will be discussed
in a future series of papers.
A portion of this paper was presented at the fall 1981
meeting of the Optical Society of America, Kissimmee,
Florida [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 71, 1638A (1981)].

difference in style between the three sections of the book; this results
from the different levels of audience to which each subject is ad-
dressed. The first half of the text may be considered a preparation
for the last half.
The presentation begins with the traditional fundamentals: def-
initions; basic concepts; and blackbody radiation. In the first chapter,
line shapes and elemental aspects of radiative transfer are introduced.
The presentation is sound if not elegant; salient equations are intro-
duced without laborious derivations. Unfortunately, the choice of
nomenclature and symbols is not consistent with that of most modern
work in radiation physics. Perhaps the author was not aware of some
recent radiometric nomenclature advances in the radiation mea-
surement field, for example, Nicodemus or Wyatt [RADIOMETRIC
CALIBRATION: THEORY AND METHODS (Academic, New
York, 1979). Applied Optics has also had a continuing series of
Letters and papers addressing the evolution and utility of radiometric
units.
It appears that the technical editor of this bookwas lax. There are
a number of editorial/typographical improvements that would have
enhanced the quality of the text. For example, the composite unit
for the defining equation for monochromatic intensity is wrong.
Moreover the frequency is designated in cps rather than hertz, al-
though the author notes that the microwave frequency unit is the
gigahertz. In places, the English is awkward with missing nouns or
articles.
Following the Introduction, unattenuated solar radiation is de-
scribed; next extinction characteristics are discussed. Radiation
transfer is then introduced in the fourth chapter. These initial 120
pages of text can be used as a foundation by students or novice re-
searchers to gain an understanding of the basic relationships of ra-
diation through the atmosphere. The objective here is preparation
for the more advanced material in the remainder of the book.
The author begins Chap.5 on particulate scattering by introducing
Maxwell's equations expressed in cgs units. From these equations,
he then derives the electromagnetic wave equation for homogeneous
nonconductive media in a traditional direct manner. Following this,
he presents a formal scattering and far-field solution. The scattering
matrix and ray optics are introduced to provide mathematical de-
scriptions to account for phenomena such as coronas, rainbows, and
halos. Unfortunately, Liou's text was prepared prior to publication
of Greenler's delightful Volume RAINBOW, HALOS, AND
GLORIES (Cambridge U.P., London, 1980).

Chapter 6 (57 pages) is the embodiment of the essence of a semester
course in radiative transfer. The mathematical development of
multiple scattering is concise and rigorous, but an intense effort is
required on the part of the reader to fully appreciate the material.
The graduate student using Chap. 6 as a text would well benefit from
a lucid student-oriented instructor.
The final two chapters treat the subject of remote sensing from
satellites in a descriptive rather than mathematical style. This third
portion of the text constitutes more a description of the methodology
of the extraction of information from observations than an analysis
of the significance of the data. Passive sensing from artificial satel-
lites using scattered sunlight and IR/microwave radiation and cor-
relations with lidar observations comprise the subject matter of Chap.
7. Chapter 8 discusses energy balance climate models.
Exercises at the end of each chapter (with answers provided) are
helpful to the instructor and for stimulating the student. Appended
to the text are lists of symbols, values of constants, and meteorological
satellites (U.S.A. only). Also included in the Appendix are derivations
of Planck's function, the Lorentz-Lorenz formula, and the Legendre
polynomial addition theorem plus additional delineations of scat-
tering geometry and Legendre polynomial properties.
It is a pleasure to find so much information in this monograph,
particularly in a field in which there is a lack of available texts. Un-
fortunately, the existence of the book is not widely known; we find
a number of libraries, some of which specialize in geophysics, to be
without a copy.

"Concise" here refers not to the abbreviation of the originalarticles
but to reducing the number of topics to 130 by selecting articles in the
area of solid state physics. By reducing the content to 27% the price
has been reduced to 22% (paperbound) of the original. By using the
original articles, apparently unchanged, additional expense and time
has been saved over making some revisions to incorporate some de-
velopments of the last two years. If this reviewer's experience
is typical, it was apparently decided not to correct errors in the
picked-up text.
