    摘要: The thickness of thin dielectric films covering metal surfaces can be measured while the surface and the film are in motion. This is accomplished by arranging a prism close to the moving film, passing plane polarized light into said prism so that it is totally internally reflected at the surface of the prism adjacent the film. Thereafter the angle of incidence is vaired to determine when surface plasma oscillations on the film-metal layer interface are generated. This is indicated by attenuation of the reflectivity. By measuring the reflectivity as a function of the angle of incidence, that angle of incidence which produces the minimum reflectivity can be determined and by comparing that angle of incidence to previously establised standards, the film thickness can be determined.

    摘要: An optical modulator suitable for use with a collimated light beam having a moderate cross section and a fast response time and operational at relatively low voltage includes a glass prism 12 and a smooth metal surface 14 that are separated by an adjustable gap 18. The gap is filled with air, having an index of refraction lower than the prism. A beam 22 of monochromatic light is passed into the prism at a specific angle of incidence 0 to undergo total internal reflection at the glass prismgap interface. A change of approximately 1 micron in the thickness of the gap is sufficient to change the reflectivity from greater than 95% to essentially zero. The size of the gap is mechanically adjusted and this mechanical device 20 determines the frequency response of the light modulation.
