These single crystal layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on [001] CdTe substrates. The real part of the refractive index, n, was determined below the band-gap Eo in the range of 0.5-2.5 eV at T=300 K. The parallel reOectivity was measured near the Brewster angle at the YAG laser wavelength of 1.064 J.Lm (hv= 1.165 eV). Combining these results with the optical pathlength results (nd) of reOection measurements in a Fourier spectrometer we have determined n(x,v) over a wide spectral range by utilizing a three parameter fit. The accuracy of these results for n should improve waveguide designs based on this material.}, language = {en} }
