In Situ Mueller-Matrix Magneto-Ellipsometry

Article Preview

Abstract:

We develop the method for determining the Mueller matrix elements using standard photometric ellipsometer. Small ellipsometer design changes give an opportunity to completely determine all elements of the Mueller matrix. It is shown how the values of Mueller matrix elements can be obtained from the measurements at different azimuthal positions of optical units.
