OPT-S9000 Spectroscopic Ellipsometer (Optical Characterization)

3 December 2024

Ellipsometer is a measurement technique that measures the change in polarization of light during its reflection from a material. Spectroscopic ellipsometry provides information about the optical system that changes the polarization state of the incident polarized light. This technique is an important thin-film measurement technology due to its non-destructive and precise advantages. A temperature-dependent measurement setup is also available, allowing the study of the variation of the optical parameters of the sample with temperature.
