Abstract: The refractive index of some simple molecules has been determined with different CO, laser lines in the 10 mu m region. Some gases show a frequency dependence of the refractive index. This frequency behaviour can be related in a simple way to the presence of an absorption band adjacent to the 10 mu m region. This simple relation allows to derive with good accuracy the integrated absorption intensity S,. of the involved bands. In this way the model validity is confirmed and the model can be used to calculate the theoretical refractivity over the whole IR region (< 5000 cm(-1)) by using the S-x(0) values of all the IR bands reported in literature.
