    Abstract: A near-field polarized-light measurement apparatus 10 comprises a near-field probe 14, an analyzer 18, a detector 22, and an analyzer-rotating unit 20. The near-field probe 14 has at a tip thereof an opening smaller than the wavelength of light used for measurement and generates linearly polarized near-field light from the opening and irradiates a sample with the near-field light. The detector 22 detects light transmitted through the sample via the analyzer 18. The analyzer-rotating unit 20 rotates the analyzer 18 about an optical axis to vary the angle of a transmission axis thereof. And optical rotation of the sample is measured by rotating the analyzer 18 with the analyzer-rotating unit 20.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a polarimeter (31) and a method for measuring a light beam polarisation states. Said polarimeter comprises a prism (32) for separating the incident light beam (21) having a Stokes vector (S) into a reflected beam (22) and a transmitted beam (23), the prism not inducing any interferential effect and the transmitted beam being subjected to at least a reflection internal to the prism. The polarimeter also comprises two final separators (3, 4) for separating respectively each of the reflected beam and the transmitted beam into at least two final beams (25-28), detecting means (5-8) for measuring the intensity levels of the final beams and a processing unit (9) producing the Stokes vector of the light to be measured. Preferably, the reflections internal to the prism (32) are either total reflections, or reflections on a thick absorbing layer.

    Abstract: In order to reduce polarization dependent error, the polarization state of incident light is set to at least two different states of polarization, and a first optical property is determined separately for each of said at least two states of polarization. Then, an averaging procedure is carried out in order to obtain a mean value of the first optical property or of a property derived therefrom. Alternatively, the averaging procedure can be performed with respect to a DUT property of a device under test that is determined as a function of said first optical property.
