Rapid ellipsometry using encoded angular distribution of light

Variable-angle ellipsometry is performed using a high speed polarization state modulator, a photodetector, and a digital micromirror device or spinning disk to encode the angle of incidence of light with a high sampling rate in a time domain or frequency domain. A variable-angle ellipsometer uses a high speed, axially stationary polarization state modulator, such as a photoelastic modulator, and a high speed detector, such as a photodiode, for high speed data acquisition. To acquire data at a plurality of incident angles, a lens is used to generate a large incident angle distribution along an optical axis that is at an oblique angle of incidence and discrete or combinations of incident angles of light are selected in a sequence in the time domain or modulated over a plurality of incident angles in the frequency domain.

Method of determining imaging quality of an optical system when illuminated by illumination light

To determine the imaging quality of the optical system (13) when illuminated by the illumination light (1) within the entrance pupil or exit pupil (11) to be measured, the test structure (5) is initially arranged in the object plane (4) of the optical system (13) and an illumination angular distribution is specified for illuminating the test structure (5) with the illumination light (1). The test structure (5) is illuminated at different distance positions (z m ) of the test structure (5). The intensity I(x, y, z m ) of the illumination light (1) is measured in the image plane (15) of the optical system (13). The spatial image measured in this way is compared with the simulated spatial image, the fitting parameters of the function set used to describe the simulated spatial image are adjusted, and the wavefront of the optical system (13) is determined on the basis of the result of minimizing the difference. The specified illumination angular distribution corresponds to a sub-aperture (10 i ) within the entrance pupil (11) to be measured. For another specified sub-aperture, the steps from "specify" to "determine" are repeated. The wavefront of the optical system is determined by combining the results obtained for the measurement sub-apertures (10 i ) within the entrance pupil (11) to be measured.
