Abstract
The intrinsic absorption spectra for very thin Hg1-xCd xTe bulk samples with compositions x ranging from 0.276 to 0.443 have been obtained at different temperatures. Based on the measured absorption curves and Kramers-Kronig relation, the refractive index dispersion has been calculated in the wavelength region near and below the band gap at temperatures from 4.2 to 300 K. For Hg1-xCdxTe samples with x from 0.276 to 0.443, the dispersion relation can be described by an empirical formula: n(λ,T)2=A+B/[1-(C/λ)2] +Dλ2, where the parameters A, B, C, and D are both temperature and composition dependent. In addition, a peak in the deduced dispersion spectra appears just at the wavelength corresponding to the band-gap energy Eg(x,T) of Hg1-xCdxTe.
