Abstract
The motivation of this paper is to determinate the precise complex refractive indices dispersion of ethanol, methanol, and their solutions in the wide spectral range from 8 to 40 000 cm−1 (wavelength range from 250 nm to 1.25 mm) in coupling to biosensors applications (body liquids analyses, tissue ethanol solutions testing, etc.) because a specification of the complex optical functions consistent with Kramers–Kronig dispersion relations in the whole mentioned spectral range was still missing. A general method combining UV/visible/near-infrared spectroscopy and Mueller matrix ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), infrared attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy, and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is proposed. The experimental data are modeled using a dielectric function parametrization based on the Brendel–Bormann oscillators.
