Temperature-dependent Sellmeier equation for the refractive index of Al(x)Ga(1-x)As.

We derived a temperature-dependent Sellmeier equation for Al(x)Ga(1-x)As material by measuring the refractive index of GaAs and AlAs with temperature dependence in a resonant cavity enhanced structure. The equation is applicable in the range of 1460-1580 nm and 26-86 degrees C and can be extrapolated to the other wavelengths and temperature ranges as well.
