Titan gas tholin sample produced from nitrogen:methane (N₂:CH₄ with a 99.9:0.1 ratio) gas precursors by UV photolysis at 293-298 K (20-25 °C) temperature and 600-610 Torr pressure at University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA.

Tholin sample produced as spherical particles.

The real (n) and imaginary (k) parts of the complex index of refraction were determined from optical measurements done at a temperature of 293-298 K (20-25 °C) and a pressure of 600-610 Torr, by photoacoustic spectroscopy and cavity ringdown spectroscopy at λ = 405 nm and λ = 532 nm.

Error bars/uncertainties are provided in the downloadable data.
