The Refractive Index of Air

Bengt Edlén · 1 Apr 1966

Present knowledge of the refractive index of air is reviewed. Regarding the absolute values there are as yet no definite indications that the standard adopted in 1953 on the basis of Barrell and Sears' measurements should be changed, but new experiments aiming at reducing the present uncertainty of about ± 5 × 10-8 would be…

High-precision gravity measurements using atom interferometry

Achim Peters, Keng Yeow Chung, Steven Chu · 1 Feb 2001

We have built an atom interferometer that can measure g, the local acceleration due to gravity, with a resolution of Δg/g = 2 × 10−8 after a single 1.3 s measurement cycle, 3 × 10−9 after 1 min and 1 × 10−10 after two days of integration time. The difference between our value for g…

An Updated Edlén Equation for the Refractive Index of Air

K P Birch, M J Downs · 1 Jan 1993

The Edlén equation for the refractive index of air, published in 1966, is still widely used. Subsequent to its formulation, however, improved data have become available on the density of air and the refractivity of water vapour. The practical temperature scale has also been revised and the carbon dioxide content of normal laboratory air has…

A new generation of absolute gravimeters

T. M. Niebauer, G. S. Sasagawa, J. E. Faller et al. · 1 Jan 1995

We describe the design improvements incorporated in a new generation of absolute gravimeters, the FG5. A vertically oriented (in-line) interferometer design is used to remove the influence of floor vibration and tilt on the optical path length. The interferometer uses an iodine-stabilized laser as a primary length standard, with circuitry for automatic peak detection and…

Metrologia template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Metrologia format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Metrologia template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Metrologia use?
Metrologia uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Metrologia 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Metrologia?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Metrologia document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Metrologia template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Metrologia format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Metrologia?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Metrologia PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Metrologia template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Metrologia template cost?
You can start writing in the Metrologia template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Metrologia PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
