Abstract
We report quantitative measurements of the anomalous refractive index of the 
, and 
vibration-rotational transitions of hydrogen fluoride in absorption. The experimental technique uses the displacement of spatial fringes produced by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer containing the absorption cell. A frequency scanned, CW HF probe laser served as the light source and the spectrally selective element. In addition, we measured the absorption coefficient of the three transitions. The experimental results are in good agreement with calculated values derived from the transition-matrix theory of HF.
