a

Percentage indicates volume percent of glycerol in distilled water.

b

Refractive index of water obtained from [44].

c

Refractive index is assumed to scale linearly with glycerol volume fraction [45] and calculated based on refractive index of glycerol [46] and water [44].

d

Refractive index of DMSO obtained from [47].
