5. We note that the Michelson interferometer technique, see, for example, Z. Bor, K. Osvay, B. Racz, and G. Szabo, Opt. Commun. 78, 109 (1990), is also surface insensitive.
6. Another method that can give five to six digits accuracy is minimum deviation refractometry. For reference, see, for example, I. H. Malitson, J. Opt. Soc. Am. 55, 1205 (1965).

8. Previously, a similar time-of-flight technique that operates in the mm wave spectral regime has been utilized to measure the dispersion of two-dimensional photonic lattices (see Ref. 7). The technique, called COMITS, is based on the generation/detection of the picosecond pulse transient from a pair of optoelectronically pulsed antenna.
