Journal ArticleDOI
Unified analysis of ellipsometry errors due to imperfect components, cell-window birefringence, and incorrect azimuth angles.
TL;DR: In this article, a unified scheme for treating these sources of error is presented, where coupling constants are introduced that determine the extent to which a component imperfection, window birefringence, or azimuth-angle error couple to cause an error of the specimen reflectance ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase shifts that accompany total internal reflection at a dielectric–dielectric interface
TL;DR: In this article, the relative refractive index of TIR ellipsometry was used to determine the angle at which the phase shifts of p-polarized light experienced in total internal reflection (TIR) at the planar interface between two transparent media are determined.

Diffraction-grating photopolarimeters and spectrophotopolarimeters
TL;DR: In this article, a division-of-amplitude photopolarimeter based on planar grating diffraction includes a diffraction grating and at least four photodetectors; the grating is placed in the conventional spectrometer orientation with its grating grooves perpendicular to the plane of incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of generalized ellipsometry to anisotropic crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved criterion for computing the normalized 2 × 2 complex reflection matrix of an anisotropic surface from multiple-null ellipsometer measurements (in excess of three) is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal beam splitters for the division-of-amplitude photopolarimeter
Rasheed M. A. Azzam,Amrit De +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that for any nonabsorbing beam splitter that splits incident unpolarized light equally, the relationship psi(r) + psi(t) = pi/2 is always satisfied.
