Abstract
The design and performance of a new automatic ellipsometer is described. The instrument is of the balancing or null-seeking type, using Faraday modulators to detect out-of-balance conditions, stepper motors to drive the polarizing and analyzing prisms, and Moire fringe counters to measure the angles of the prisms.
