Abstract

Based on a recent experimental determination of the static polarizability and a first-principles calculation of the frequency-dependent dipole polarizability of argon, this work presents, by use of a Fabry-P\'erot refractometer operated at 1550 nm, a realization of the SI unit of pressure, the pascal, for pressures up to 100 kPa, with an uncertainty of [(0.98 mPa)2+(5.8×106P)2+(26×1012P2)2]1/2^2 + (5.8 \times 10^{-6} P)^2 + (26\times10^{-12}P^2)^2]^{1/2}. The work also presents a value of the molar polarizability of N2_2 at 1550 nm of 4.396572(26)×106\times 10^{-6}m3^{3}/mol, which agrees well with previously determined ones in the literature.
