High precision alignment procedure for an ellipsometer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Beam deviation in the polarizing elements is identified as a significant source of error in existing ellipsometer alignment procedures. A high precision alignment procedure that eliminates these errors is described. This procedure is less time consuming than previous methods, and its accuracy is comparable to the limit of resolution of the ellipsometer (typically 0.01-0.005 degrees ). A further advantage of this procedure is that it provides a precise method for the alignment of specimens and lasers with the ellipsometer.

One-dimensional Spectroscopic Measurement of Patterned Structures Using a Custom-built Spectral Imaging Ellipsometer
A novel spectral imaging ellipsometer based on a mono-axial power spectrograph has been developed for one-dimensional spectroscopic measurement of patterned structures. To obtain the imaging data of a patterned sample using ellipsometry can be realized by conventional ellipsometers with 2-dimesional (2D) scanning sample stage or 2D imaging ellipsometers with imaging optics. The former has major...

We have built and tested a 3.5 m high-finesse Fabry-Perot prototype inteferometer with a precision ellipsometer for the QED test and axion search (Q & A) experiment. We use X-pendulum-double-pendulum suspension designs and automatic control schemes developed by the gravitational-wave detection community. Verdet constant and Cotton-Mouton constant of the air are measured as a test. Double modula...

We developed a multichannel three-polarizer spectroscopic ellipsometer based on a data acquisition algorithm for achieving optimized precision. This algorithm measures unnormalized Fourier coefficients accurately and precisely. Offset angles for optical elements were obtained as wavelength-independent values using regression calibration. Derived subsets of data reduction functions were used to ...
