    Abstract: There is provided a method for measuring the PDL of a DUT as a function of the optical frequency v within a spectral range, which uses a single wavelength scan over which the input-SOP varies in a continuous manner. The power transmission through the DUT, curve T(v), is measured during the scan and the PDL is derived from the sideband components of the power transmission curve T(v) that results from the continuously varying input-SOP. More specifically, the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of the power transmission curve T(v) is calculated, wherein the DFT shows at least two sidebands. At least two sidebands are extracted and their inverse DFT calculated individually to obtain complex transmissions

    where J is the number of sidebands on one side. The response vector |m(v)〉 of the DUT is derived from the complex transmissions (v) and a matrix determined by the continuous trajectory of the SOP of the input test lightwave; and the PDL of the DUT as a function of v (PDL curve) is derived therefrom.

    Abstract: Asymmetry metrology is performed using at least a portion of Mueller matrix elements, including, e.g., the off-diagonal elements of the Mueller matrix. The Mueller matrix may be generated using, e.g., a spectroscopic or angle resolved ellipsometer (100) that may include a rotating compensator (122). The Mueller matrix is analyzed by fitting at least a portion of the elements to Mueller matrix elements calculated using a rigorous electromagnetic model of the sample (101) or by fitting the off-diagonal elements to a calibrated linear response. The use of the Mueller matrix elements in the asymmetry measurement permits, e.g., overlay analysis using in-chip devices thereby avoiding the need for special off-chip targets.
