Practical use[edit]

Could someone confirms that this higher velocity means Indium phosphide could help make faster computers? If that holds true, what would be the consequences on Moore’s Law?

Graph & formula do not match[edit]

The article presents a formula and a graph for the index of refraction of InP; they are inconsistent. For example, the formula yields an "n" of 3.326 at 1 micron, whereas the graph (and its accompanying text) list about 3.47 at 1 micron.

Can someone tell which (if either) is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.222.73 (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This part below is deleted from the article because

it is inconsistent, as mentioned above (which inconsistency I confirm); the figure is a wrong reproduction of the empirical formula (i.e. fit of missing experimental data), for which no source is provided.
it unbalances this article which desperately needs basic properties, not rare ones.

Optical properties (removed from the article)[edit]

The Sellmeier equation that describes how the optical refractive index for indium phosphide depends on wavelength is given by $n^{2}(\lambda )=7.255+{\frac {2.316\lambda ^{2}}{\lambda ^{2}-0.6263^{2}}}+{\frac {2.765\lambda ^{2}}{\lambda ^{2}-32.935^{2}}},$ where λ is the wavelength in micrometres.

This gives refractive index values rising from around 3.21 at 10 µm and 3.32 at 1.5 µm to 3.47 at 1.0 µm.
