We use an optical critical dimension technique, matching modeled to measured scatterometry signatures, to obtain critical dimension linewidth on grating targets
We investigate the effects that variations in profile have on specular and diffuse reflectance from a grating consisting of parallel lines. We investigate, as

Abstract: We present measurements of the residual frequency stability across a fiber frequency comb by comparison through a Ti:sapphire frequency comb. We find
We discuss the contributions to the linewidth and frequency noise of the individual modes of a mode-locked fiber laser. Much of this noise can be suppressed
