It is generally known that when optical glass is polished with water, a surface layer with a refractive index different from that of the interior is created. Even if the sample surface reflectance is measured with high precision using a method, there is a problem that the refractive index obtained therefrom will be different from the actual value.

In the method according to the present invention, a standard sample with a uniform refractive index whose refractive index has been previously measured by another method is fixed in parallel with a measurement sample of unknown refractive index, and then this integrated composite sample is A measurement surface smoothing process such as polishing is performed on the sample, and a light beam is projected onto the measurement surface to measure the reflectance of both samples. Based on the measured reflectance of the standard sample mentioned above, the known refractive index value, and the reflectance measurement results of the measured sample,
Calculate the sample refractive index at the light beam projection point. In order to obtain the refractive index distribution profile of a self-focusing fiber or lens, prepare two types of standard glass samples that have the maximum and minimum refractive indices of the measurement sample, and compare the measurement sample and these standard samples. It is preferable to use a method in which the refractive index distribution profile is obtained by arranging the light beams in a straight line, scanning the light beam over the entire sample, and continuously measuring the reflectance on each sample surface.

According to the method of the present invention, even if a surface layer with a refractive index different from that of the main body is created by polishing the measurement surface of the measurement sample, similar surface deterioration will not occur on the standard sample that is processed simultaneously with the measurement sample. It occurs to the same extent on the surface, and therefore, based on the reflectance measurement results of both samples and the known refractive index of the standard sample, the unknown refractive index n of the measurement sample can be calculated using the relational formula between reflectance and refractive index, for example, the formula described below. By calculating from , the change due to the sample surface deterioration described above is canceled out between both samples, and it is possible to obtain a refractive index value that is close to the true value. In addition, scratches caused by polishing or foreign matter that adheres to the sample surface during reflectance measurement are handled as a composite sample that integrates the standard sample and measurement sample, so they are likely to occur in almost the same condition on both samples. Therefore, from the relative refractive index distribution profiles of both samples, local refractive index abnormalities caused by the above-mentioned external factors can be easily separated and excluded from the distribution of the sample body. In addition, if the maximum refractive index and the maximum refractive index of the measurement sample are used as the standard sample as in the preferred embodiment, the average weather resistance of the measurement sample glass and the average value of the weather resistance of both standard sample glasses can be adjusted. Since they are almost equal, there is an advantage that when determining the refractive index from the reflectance of the three, the influence of glass surface deterioration can be almost completely canceled out among the three.

A beam 10 emitted from the Ne laser 11 passes through a polarized beam splitter 12 and a quarter-wave plate 13, and is condensed and projected onto the sample surface by an objective lens 14.
The condensed and projected beam 10 is reflected from the sample surface, passes through the objective lens 14 again, and passes through the 1/4 wavelength plate 13 twice in a round trip, thereby rotating the plane of polarization by 90 degrees and passing through the polarizing beam splitter. 12, the light is reflected in a direction perpendicular to the source light.

Read from meter 17. After scanning the entire width of the measurement surfaces of both standard samples 2 and 3 and measurement sample 1, the refractive index for each beam projection position is calculated and output based on the formula described later. The fine adjustment required at this time is to adjust the fine movement stage 8 so that the beam 10 incident on the sample 6 is perpendicular to the incident plane, and when the samples 1, 2, and 3 have an axisymmetric refractive index distribution. All that is required is to similarly adjust the fine movement stage 8 so that the beam passes through the central axis.
