What is Spectroscopic Ellipsometry and Why is it Useful?
Ellipsometry is a method for total optical measurement that is used to measure the change of polarization of light as it passes through a medium. During reflection, polarized light is distorted by the layer’s structure, allowing users to obtain information on the material properties of the medium present in the structure. A number of techniques are available for establishing distorted polarization. Each of these employs different optical components to modulate the light polarization. Semilab achieves this through the use of an advanced rotating compensator layout, whereby a high end broadba...
