This Datareview appeared in Properties of Indium Phosphide (INSPEC, IEE, London, UK, 1991) and is reproduced here for the reader's convenience.
Room temperature n and k data of InP at photon energies in the static-IR, reststrahlen, transparent, bandgap, and visible-UV regions, have been determined by different investigators. In the 0.00124 to 0.0186 eV (static-IR) range, k ? 0. Also, in the 0.1127 to 1.2651 eV (transparent) range, k ? 0, but exact values of k are very sensitive to extrinsic parameters such as doping. At certain energies, more than one set of values of n and k, reported by different authors, are presented. The discrepancies between these different sets requires further investigation. At certain other energies, values of n or k are denoted by the '-' symbol. In such cases, interpolation of the closest given values for the optical constants may be used.
