This study describes an optical reflectometry setup capable of detecting adsorption at a liquid/solid interface. This setup has improved sensitivity over the previous reflectometry instruments discussed in the literature. This improvement is achieved by implementing a stabilized He-Ne laser and lock-in detection scheme. The high sensitivity of the present setup was demonstrated by probing the formation of the electrical double layer at the water-silica interface. Quantitative interpretation of the data was achieved with the basic Stern model. The determined value of the single-ion refractive index increment for Na+ was 7.1 +/- 0.2 mL/mol. The detection limit of the present setup is <1 mu g/m(2), which is comparable to modern surface plasmon resonance instruments, and is 10 times better than currently achieved with quartz crystal microbalances and other optical surface sensitive techniques.
