Mueller Matrix Imaging Polarimeter for UV Metrology
The University of Arizona Polarization Laboratory with support from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has assembled and is currently calibrating a UV Mueller matrix imaging polarmeter (UV-MMIP). The desire for more accurate polarimetric and radiometric sensors drives the need for stringent polarization requirements and the ability to more precisely measure system and component polarization be...
متن کاملMueller matrix differential decomposition.
We present a Mueller matrix decomposition based on the differential formulation of the Mueller calculus. The differential Mueller matrix is obtained from the macroscopic matrix through an eigenanalysis. It is subsequently resolved into the complete set of 16 differential matrices that correspond to the basic types of optical behavior for depolarizing anisotropic media. The method is successfull...
متن کاملExperimental validation of Mueller matrix differential decomposition.
Mueller matrix differential decomposition is a novel method for retrieving the polarimetric properties of general depolarizing anisotropic media [N. Ortega-Quijano and J. L. Arce-Diego, Opt. Lett. 36, 1942 (2011), R. Ossikovski, Opt. Lett. 36, 2330 (2011)]. The method has been verified for Mueller matrices available in the literature. We experimentally validate the decomposition for five differ...
متن کاملPhysical model of differential Mueller matrix for depolarizing uniform media.
In this article, we address the question of significance of the parameters of differential Mueller matrix formalism. We show how the concept of mean value and uncertainty of the optical properties recently introduced to depict this differential matrix can be related to the random fluctuations of these optical properties. From the layered-medium interpretation introduced by Jones [J. Opt. Soc. A...
متن کاملAdvances in CD-Metrology (CD-SAXS, Mueller Matrix based Scatterometry, and SEM)
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been a mainstay of critical dimension (CD) metrology since the inception of integrated microelectronics, due to its inherent high resolution capability and relative ease of interpretation. However, as device dimensions continue to shrink, and non-planar devices become integrated into process flows (e.g., finFETs), the need to identify and develop successor...
