Abstract

Apparatus and methods particularly suitable for use in electro-optical metrology and other applications to measure and monitor the refractive index of a gas in a measurement path and/or the change in optical path length of the measurement path due to the gas while the refractive index of the gas may be fluctuating due to turbulence or the like and/or the physical length of the measuring path may be changing.
