All n-k-Data tables consist of three columns. The first one contains the wavelength in micron. The second one is the real part of the complex refractive index (n), the third one is the imaginary part (k).

For the details of the derivation of all n-k-Data we refer to the mentioned publications (see the List of Publications).
