Optical properties of RDX (cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine) and HMX (cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine) were obtained from 2.5 to 18 {micro}m using scattering-corrected KBr pellet-FTIR transmission spectroscopy. Absorption index (k) was measured directly and refractive index (n) was deduced using dispersion theory. At 10.6 {micro}m the absorption coefficients were RDX, 2,800 cm{sup {minus}1} and HMX, 5,670 cm{sup {minus}1}.
