Databases of Laboratory Measurements

https://sites.google.com/view/astrow-en/research/databases A database maintained by a Brazilian group that contains optical constants of different type of ices: pure, mixed and energetically processed by cosmic ray analogues in the laboratory.

https://sites.google.com/lowell.edu/astrophysical-materials-lab - visible-6 microns and also Raman, with the sample enclosed within a cell, so can explore solid, liquid, vapor phase equilibrium, for temperatures down to 30 K and pressures up to ~3 bar. The samples are thick, usually 5 or 20 mm that give a good sensitivity for the very weak near-IR features in transmission, but limited ability to study stronger absorptions. More limited vapor-deposited thin film capability down to 7 K and out to about 20 microns.

http://aram.ess.sunysb.edu/tglotch/optical_constants.html - Stony Brook University Vibrational Spectroscopy Laboratory; working to determine the optical constants (n and k) of many minerals at various orientations. For uniaxial minerals, determine n and k for the O and E rays. For other minerals, determine the three principal complex refractive indices. Determine n and k by acquiring mid-IR emissivity or reflectance spectra and applying dispersion theory to generate optical constants that provide best-fit models to the measured spectra.

Spectroscopic data acquired in the laboratory provide the interpretive foundation upon which compositional information about unexplored or unsampled planetary surfaces is derived from remotely obtained reflectance spectra.
