Python 3 + SQLite wrapper for the refractiveindex.info database by Mikhail Polyanskiy.
Database files parsing was made with a modified version of refractiveIndex.py from PyTMM project by Pavel Dmitriev.
- Create SQLite database from refractiveindex yml folder.
- Create SQLite database from refractiveindex.zip url.
- Search database pages by approximate or exact terms.
- Search material data (refractiveindex, extinctioncoefficient) by intervals.
- Execute custom SQL queries on the database.
- Export material data (refractiveindex, extinctioncoefficient) to numpy arrays or csv files.
- Get data (refractiveindex, extinctioncoefficient) at specified wavelengths.
Just copy the refractivesqlite folder to your project, and you are ready. For more information, see the Tutorial notebook
- python 3
- numpy
- scipy
- pyyaml
Same as the refractiveindex.info webpage: NO GUARANTEE OF ACCURACY - Use on your own risk.
