Their high refractive index is also indicative, but other materials have similar refractivity.

Also, the low-temperature formation of the spicules, as compared to the high temperature stretching process of commercial fibre optics, allows for the addition of impurities which improve the refractive index.

en.wikipedia.org

The refractive index of the cladding of an optical fiber is 1.52.

en.wikipedia.org

Lead glass has a higher refractive index, making its appearance sparkling, bright, and brilliant in light.

en.wikipedia.org

Aromatic monomers both increase refractive index and decrease the optical anisotropy and thus the birefringence.

en.wikipedia.org

The p-polarized wave, on the other hand, is refracted because the effective refractive index changes upon changing from o-ray to e-ray.

en.wikipedia.org

The refractive index of xenotime is 1.720-1.815 with a birefringence of 0.095 (uniaxial positive).

en.wikipedia.org

Because refractive index is very temperature dependent, it is important to use a refractometer with automatic temperature compensation.

en.wikipedia.org

It can also be used as an optical contact liquid, in conjunction with the gemmological refractometer, for determining the refractive index of certain gemstones.

en.wikipedia.org

Gemstones are basically categorized based on their crystal structure, specific gravity, refractive index, and other optical properties, such as pleochroism.
