A new method for describing the change of the laser beam axis trajectory in the Anderson differential cuvette to measure the refractive index of liquids by V.V. Davydov, D.S. Provodin, A.A. Gol’dberg, I.D. Kochetkov

“…We substantiate the necessity of developing a small-sized refractometer with Anderson's differential cuvette for the highly accurate rapid check of the state of liquid media in real time. Problems that arise in determining optimal design parameters of the optical part of the refractometer to reduce the measurement error of the refractive index ranging from 1.2300 to 2.2300 are indicated. …”
