Ellipsometry of light scattering from multilayer coatings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A scatterometer is extended and allows us to perform ellipsometric measurements on scattered light in each direction of space. Experimental data are given for single thin-film layers and optical coatings and reveal unexpected results. The phenomena are investigated by means of the electromagnetic theories of surface and bulk scattering that emphasize the role of partial correlation and localized defects.

Towards Measurement of Polarization Properties of Skin using the Ellipsometry Technique
Introduction: The human skin is an active medium from the optical point of view. Therefore, the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques employing light are increasing. Current optical techniques are based on the measurement of the intensity of reflected absorbed or backscattered light from or within skin. Studies have shown that biological tissues, and in particular skin, demonstrate polarization...
متن کاملAngle-resolved ellipsometry of light scattering: discrimination of surface and bulk effects in substrates and optical coatings.
Angle-resolved ellipsometry of light scattering is an original technique developed at the Fresnel Institute to identify scattering processes in substrates and multilayers. We extend the investigation because numerous experimental results proved that the technique can be of major interest for analysis of microcomponents and their scattering origins. Surface and bulk effects can be separated in m...
متن کاملRoughness and Light Scattering of Ion-Beam-Sputtered Fluoride Coatings for 193 nm.
Scattering characteristics of multilayer fluoride coatings for 193 nm deposited by ion beam sputtering and the related interfacial roughnesses are investigated. Quarter- and half-wave stacks of MgF(2) and LaF(3) with increasing thickness are deposited onto CaF(2) and fused silica and are systematically characterized. Roughness measurements carried out by atomic force microscopy reveal the evolu...

متن کاملInfluence of the substrate finish and thin film roughness on the optical performance of Mo/Si multilayers.
Scattering resulting from interface imperfections critically affects the image contrast and optical throughput of multilayer coatings for 13.5 nm. To investigate the scattering mechanisms, at-wavelength scattering measurements in combination with atomic force microscopy are analyzed for an in-depth characterization of the roughness properties. The different impacts of substrate finish and intri...
