Outline of Final Research Achievements

Measuring the absolute salinity of sea water is important to understand the mechanism of oceans. In order to develop a new abosolute-alinity sensing device with refractive index measurement which can be used under water, a precise refractive index measurement technique was developed in this study. The measurement principle is based on spectral a method known as an interference displacement sensor. Interference fringes from the difference between the optical length of a pure water and a sea water cell was observed as a interference spectrum by a optical spectrum analyzer. In the present study, it was shown that the refractive index can be measured precisely by employing an optical frequency comb which has a broad range of optical frequency from 420 nm to 2 um.
