Abstract: Reflectometer, spectrophotometer, ellipsometer, and polarimeter systems having a supercontinuum laser source of coherent electromagnetic radiation over a range of between 400 nm to between 4400 nm and 18000 nm, and another source of wavelengths to provide between 400 nm and as high as at least 50000 nm; a stage for supporting a sample and a detector of electromagnetic radiation, wherein the source provides a beam of electromagnetic radiation which interacts with a sample and enters a detector system optionally incorporating a wavelength modifier, where the detector system can be functionally incorporated with combinations of gratings and/or combination dichroic beam splitter-prisms, which can be optimized as regards wavelength dispersion characteristics to direct wavelengths in various ranges to various detectors that are well suited to detect them.

Abstract: A substantially achromatic multiple element compensator system for use in a wide spectral range, (for example 190-1700 nm), rotating compensator spectroscopic ellipsometer or polarimeter or the like system, which does not require external surface coatings at locations whereat total internal reflections occur. Multiple total internal reflections enter retardance into an entered beam of electromagnetic radiation. Berek-type retarders on both input and output sides of the multiple elements are oriented to minimize changes in the net retardance vs. wavelength via adjustment of Berek-type retarders. Berek-type retarders.

Abstract: A method of applying a reflective optics system that requires the presence of both convex and a concave mirrors that have beam reflecting surfaces. Application thereof achieves focusing of a beam of electromagnetic radiation with reduced effects on a polarization state of an input beam state of polarization that results from adjustment of angles of incidence and reflections from the various mirrors involved.

Abstract: Materials comprising metamaterials exhibiting form-induced birefringence and anisotropic optical properties are provided. The disclosed articles comprise structures with critical dimensions which are on the order of or smaller than the wavelength for the gigahertz and terahertz spectral range.
