Provided is a method for enhancing accuracy of an optical metrology system that includes a metrology tool, an optical metrology model, and a profile extraction algorithm. The optical metrology model includes a model of the metrology tool and a profile model of the sample structure, the profile model having profile parameters. A library comprising Jones and / or Mueller matrices and / or components (JMMOC) and corresponding profile parameters is generated using ray tracing and a selected range of beam propagation parameters. An original simulated diffraction signal is calculated using the optical metrology model. A regenerated simulated diffraction signal is obtained using the regenerated JMMOC, integrated for all the rays of the optical metrology model. If an error and precision criteria for the regenerated simulated diffraction signal compared to the original simulated diffraction signal are met, one or more profile parameters are determined from the best match regenerated simulated diffraction signal.

A method of increasing accuracy of optical sensors based on generating two sets of light waves having different velocities in the presence of a non-vanishing measurand field within a sensing element of the sensor is described. A defined static bias phase shift is introduced between the two sets of light waves. The sensor converts a total optical phase shift including static bias optical phase shifts and measurand-induced optical phase shifts into anti-phase optical power changes in at least two detector channels. The method includes steps of normalizing the optical power changes after their conversion into electrical detector signals in the two detector channels to reduce effects of uneven intensity or power of the light source and different loss or gain in the detector channels. Further methods, sensors and apparatus for temperature stabilizing such optical sensors and novel sensors are also presented.
