Talked with the researchers today, and the elements they use in their design should be valid for the wavelength ranges you mention. The aim is to perform spectroscopic ellipsometry (with a broad-range light source in the illumination arm and a spectrum analyzer at the detection side). We are...
Hi Andy, nice to meet you!
As we are a university, we don't compete with J.A. Woolam, Horiba or other such companies. Our design will be available to any interested company.
I will get back to you on expected applications.
Cheers,
Graham
Thanks for the welcome! :)
We have a new design in mind which will be published in a couple of months. But, before we spend money on building an ugly prototype, we want to see if we properly identified some real problems with current machines. So far, some of our researchers identified the...
Hi folks!
For those of you who are familiar with ellipsometers, are the following some significant pains/problems with the apparatus? Are there other significant pain points?
1. The machine is too bulky.
2. The change of angle is too slow.
3. The minimum angle is limited by thickness of arms...
