ellipsometry

One technique that we worked with very early is called ellipsometry.

A new take on an old instrument: adding fiber to find hidden details on surfaces : In an effort to make an old technique, called ellipsometry, more useable, we discovered that random is not always random, and that you can use randomness to make accurate measurements.

The ellipsometry people I suggested this to stared at me as if I had grown a nipple on my forehead.

There is a good reason why everyone thinks optical fibers are death to ellipsometry.

But, in ellipsometry, we are measuring a change in polarization due to a sample-we don't really care about the absolute polarization.

Ars Technica Chris Lee 2012

In practice, however, ellipsometry suffers from a significant challenge: getting polarized light anywhere near the surfaces we want to understand.

If we calibrate the fiber once, and then measure the orientation of the circle after reflection from the sample, you can obtain, after a bit of data processing, exactly the same information as you would from a conventional ellipsometry.

The Alpha-SE ™ will measure both thickness and refractive index with the use of CompleteEASE ™: the most powerful analysis ellipsometry software currently on the market.
