An ellipsometer measures a change in the polarization state of light, an amplitude ratio (ψ) and the phase difference (Δ), as a result of interaction with materials. By fitting ψ and Δ to existing models, material properties, such as optical constants (n, k), the thickness of thin films, and other material parameters, can be determined.
