    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.

    Abstract: A procedure for self-calibration of an optical polarimeter has been developed that eliminates the need for "known" input signals to be used. The self-calibration data is then taken by moving a polarization controller between several random and unknown states of polarization (SOPs) and recording the detector output values (D 0 , ..., D 3 ) for each state of polarization. These values are then used to create an "approximate" calibration matrix. In one exemplary embodiment, the SOP of the incoming signal is adjusted three times (by adjusting a separate polarization controller element, for example), creating a set of four detector output values for each of the four polarizations states of the incoming signal - an initial calibration matrix. The first row of this initial calibration matrix is then adjusted to fit the power measurements using a least squares fit. In the third and final step, the remaining elements of the calibration matrix are adjusted to a given constraint (for example, DOP=100% for all SOPs).
