β¦ Synopsis
The precise measurement of solar magnetic fields requires an accurate measurement of the Muller matrix of the optical components in the path of the light beam, which again requires a careful measurement of the optical constants of the reflecting surfaces in the case of a 3-mirror coelostat system. Here we present a method to measure the optical constants (the real and imaginary part of the refractive index) to an accuracy of the order of 1% for bulk aluminium. This work is directed towards the measurement of instrumental polarisation at the Kodaikanal solar tower telescope, although it can be used for any metallic coated optics.

Experimental modeling of burr formation processes has received limited industrial application. This limited use is due to the large number of parameters in the experimental design resulting in a large number of experiments and high costs. This paper presents a methodology to combine experimental, si
