Measurements of the refractive index of InP in the wavelength range from 1.2 {micro}m to 1.6 {micro}m have been carried out with a relative accuracy of 2 {times} 10{sup {minus}4}. The refractive indices are determined from the measured transmission wavelengths of an n{sup {minus}}/n{sup +}-InP demultiplexer and their temperature dependence. The refractive indices are found to vary linearly with temperature with a coefficient between 2.3 and 1.9 {times} 10{sup {minus}4}/K. The results are compared with data from literature.
