    Abstract: Disclosed are a light polarization state detection apparatus, a detection method and a light polarization state modulation method. The light polarization state detection apparatus comprises a lens with a variable birefringence feature as an optical phase modulator, a polarizer as a SOP analyzer, a plurality of common lenses and a CCD as imaging devices, and a data processing and displaying unit. The SOP detection apparatus uses special birefringence distribution of birefringence optical elements such as a GRIN lens to obtain the Stokes parameters of light to be measured by CCD in a single frame imaging, and can rapidly accurately measure the SOP. The SOP detection apparatus is simple in structure, lower in cost without containing any motion parts and electrical modulation devices, and is a fully static full Stokes parameters SOP detection apparatus. The light polarization state modulation apparatus comprises a GRIN lens with a variable birefringence feature. The modulation method is continuous in each position of a modulation aperture, rich in modulation variety and low in cost.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to measure the optical anisotropy properties of a film on glass or other substrates. This technique is suitable for production environments, and is not strongly affected by the TFT or CF active area on LCD panels, even for very high pixel density displays. A method is provided for measuring a magnitude and orientation of optical anisotropy. These methods and systems include an optical anisotropy measurement apparatus for measuring anisotropic materials in a reflection or transmission configuration. The methods and systems may measure a Mueller matrix, diattentuation orientation, or retardance of a sample at one or more rotation angles to calculate anisotropic magnitude and orientation.

    Abstract: An ellipsometry system and a detection unit thereof are capable of achieving miniaturization and price reduction associated therewith. The ellipsometry system includes the detection unit that: has an optical polarization element; separates an interference polarization beam obtained by causing the object-reflected polarization beam and reference reflected polarization beam to interfere with each other into a plurality of interference polarization beams on a wavelength basis; and detects the respective separated polarization components in each wavelength. The optical polarization element: has a birefringence characteristic including a first refractive index and a second refractive index; receives the separated interference polarization beams of the respective wavelengths in a wavelength order and in a parallel manner; separates the separated interference polarization beam of each wavelength, on a polarization component basis, while transmitting the same, and outputs the respective separated polarization components in each wavelength in the same direction but along different optical axes.
