GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Science - Physics / Optics
English term or phrase: bulk refractive index
n a preferred embodiment, a surface electromagnetic wave (SEW) sensor system is used which can compensate for changes in the *bulk refractive index* of a buffer or which allows the contribution of the *bulk refractive index* to an interference pattern to be separated from the contribution of an analyte absorbed on the sensor surface.

Wird "bulk" hier im Sinne von "principal" verwendet? Soll es also "Hauptbrechungsindex" heißen? Oder ist der "Bulk-Brechungsindex" (so in einem Patent gefunden) etwas anderes? Oder kann ich "bulk" einfach unübersetzt lassen?

Volumenbrechungsindex
Explanation:
Bulk wird in dem Zusammenhang normalerweise immer für das Volumen (im Gegensatz zur Oberfläche) verwendet, insofern ist wohl der Brechungsindex des Volumens gemeint. Da es um einen Ovberflächensensor geht, klingt das durchaus sinnvoll.
Das ist aber nur mein Physik-Allgemeinwissen, ich hab grad nicht genug Zeit, mich in das Setup reinzudenken.

Asker: Danke! Das klingt tatsächlich sinnvoll, auch ohne sich weiter in das Setup reinzudenken ;-)
