Liquid isopropanol, n-butanol, and n-decane are combustible organic compounds that are frequently used in theoretical and experimental researches on fuel combustion. In this work, the temperature-dependent optical constants of liquid isopropanol, n-butanol, and n-decane in the region 500-5500 cm(-1) at ambient pressure are measured using the combined ellipsometry-transmission method. In the combined method, the optical constants are first measured by a modified ellipsometry method, and then the absorption indices for weak absorption regions are obtained by the transmission method using the refractive indices measured by the modified ellipsometry method. The refractive indices of liquid isopropanol, n-butanol, and n-decane are within the range from 1.3 to 1.45 in the studied wavelength and temperature region. The absorption indices of these liquids range from 10(-5) to 10(-1). In the temperature range studied, the refractive indices decrease with increasing temperature in an approximately linear manner, but the effects of the temperature on the absorption indices are much smaller. The characteristic wavenumbers of the main absorption peaks are consistent with the vibrational frequencies of major functional groups. (C) 2018 Optical Society of America
