Analysis of a novel ellipsometric technique with special advantages for infrared spectroscopy

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Sensitivity calculations are given for a novel ellipsometric technique that involves a rotating polarizer or analyzer and the measurement of signal phase angles. It is superior to optical null techniques under signal-limited conditions, and avoids the difficulties that attend precise signal-amplitude measurements. Noise coefficients as functions of optical-component settings and surface properties are presented for the technique and compared with those for the conventional ellipsometer.
