Summary

The main target of the course are methods of optical spectroscopy and ellipsometry used for characterization of thin films, multilayers, periodic systems, composites, and nanostructures. The course includes fundamentals of optical spectroscopy and ellipsometry, measurement configurations, interaction of light with metals, semiconductor, and dielectrics. Modeling of light reflection and transmission from multilayers, periodic gratings, and composite systems is completed by fitting of experimental data using optimization techniques. Effects of anisotropy, surface roughness, depolarization, and component imperfections are discussed. The course is mainly focused on reflection and transmission spectroscopy in visible, near infrared and near ultraviolet spectral range, spectroscopic ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and magneto-optical spectroscopy.
