Noncontact inspection of opaque film thickness in single layer and multilayer structures and edge-exclusion zones

TL;DR: In this article, an optical measurement method called impulsive stimulated thermal scattering (ISTS) is proposed for determining the thickness of opaque films with angstrom repeatability. But the method is not suitable for the measurement of beveled layer edges.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The interaction of THz phonon-polariton waves with microstructures observed using quantitative, phase-sensitive imaging

TL;DR: In this article, phase-sensitive imaging was applied to enable sharply focused visualization of terahertz waves in electro-optic media, allowing quantitative characterization of THz waves as they interact with microstructures on or in the sample, yielding new insight into these interactions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Terahertz Kerr Effect in an Organic Ferroelectric

TL;DR: Using the terahertz (THz) Kerr effect, this article recorded nonlinear time-domain vibrational responses in tris-sarcosine calcium chloride (TSCC) through two interactions with THz fields.

Measurement of Effective Refractive Index Ellipse of LiNbO3 Subwavelength Slab Waveguide for Thz Phonon Polariton Wave

TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation process of a phonon polariton wave in 50 micrometer LiNbO3 slab waveguide is recorded using polarization gating imaging system and the effective refractive indexes of different models are calculated from the dispersion curves.
