Data on the refractive index as a function of wavelength can be obtained in [58].
Also, Diels 1591 lists dn/ah and aWah2 for several optical materials of interest.
9. TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY OF MULTIPLE-PRISM ARRAYS
The cumulative reflection losses at the incidence surface of the mth prism in
a multiple-prism array are given by [ 1,221

prism compensating arrangement. (c) Four-prism array composed of two double-prism compensating
arrangements. (d) Collinear array integrated by two N-prism compensating configurations. (e) and (f)
Two arrays each composed of generalized N-prism-additive configurations. The groups compensate
relative to each other.
