The polarizer has structure in which two or more film-shaped materials which have a substantially regularly arranged one-dimensional undulation. The polarizer also has a substantially regularly arranged two-dimensional structure. For example, the polarizer consist of materials 1 and 2 which have different refractive indexes. A regularly arranged two-dimensional structure which has a pitch of 1 mm or less can be obtained by a simple method.

    摘要: A small and high-speed polarization analysis device and ellipsometer having no driving section are provided by overlapping one polarizer array rendered by arranging a plurality of polarizer regions of mutually different optical axis directions in the form of stripes and one wavelength plate array rendered by arranging a plurality of wavelength plate regions of fixed retardation and mutually different optical axis directions in the form of stripes so that the respective stripes of the plurality of polarizer regions and of the plurality of wavelength plate regions intersect one another and by disposing a light-receiving element array so that the intensities of light that has passed through the matrix-like intersection parts can be individually measured. As a method of analyzing a two-dimensional intensity distribution pattern that is observed by the light-receiving element array of the polarization analysis device, either one of (or both of) the algorithms of a method that determines incident polarized waves by mathematically fitting pattern shapes or performing database matching or a method that performs a Fourier transform on pattern shapes and determines incident polarized waves from the frequency components is (are) used. Furthermore, if necessary, more accurate polarization analysis is also possible by adopting a signal processing method that removes signals from light-receiving element regions that receive unnecessary scattered light and diffracted light.
