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.
