Measuring Interfacial Roughness by Polarized Optical Scattering

Published

Author(s)

Thomas A. Germer

Abstract

Polarized optical scatter measurements yield information that can be used to identify sources of scatter. In this chapter, we review measurements of angle-resolved polarized optical scattering and their application to the measurement of roughness of surfaces and thin films.
