I think this should be Abbe diagram

P.S. A big thank you for your work on this database, 10 years ago I visited this website in an Optics course to solve some refractive index exercises. Today I magically came across this website, and in this moment I realized how incredible this work is to maintain it for over 10 years!

I have created a web glass database (https://sciglass.uni-jena.de/). I think your website will be a good resource for people interested in the refractive index of glass (https://refractiveindex.info/?shelf=glass). In the future, I will put your website link as an external resource for refractive index.

There are over 15,000 optical spectra in the SciGlass database, most of them are Transmittance and Absorption (it seems that Reflection and Complex refractive index spectra are not stored.) Although these refractive index data are not stored as spectral data, they are stored as standardized properties: image

However, the SciGlass database stores only few commercial glass, I think INTERGLAD has a lot such data.

Wow, this typo must have been there from the very beginning – for nearly 15 years. Thank you for spotting it and reporting it! SciGlass seems to be an incredible resource for optics-related R&D!
