A multicolor interferometer for the simultaneous measurement of contrast factors — •Thomas Triller and Werner Köhler — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany

During the last years thermodiffusion in ternary fluid mixtures has been the subject of gaining interest. Currently, optical experiments are performed both in a microgravity environment on board of the international space station (ISS) using an interferometric device (SODI) and on ground using the beamdeflection technique [1]. These experiments make use of a change in the refractive index n to analyse changes in the concentration of the mixtures. To interpret the data, a precise knowledge of the so called contrast factors (∂ n / ∂ ci)p,T,cji and (∂ n / ∂ T)p,ci is essential. Monte Carlo simulations have shown that errors in the refractive index need to be as low as 10−5 to get reliable values for the Soret coefficients. As a step to reach such precision, we present a new setup capable of measuring contrast factors at five different wavelengths simultaneously. The basic outline consists of a Michelson-Interferometer with a special sample cell.
