The light wave is an electromagnetic wave. When a light wave is incident on the substrate obliquely, part of it will be reflected, part of it will be absorbed, and part of it will penetrate. The electric field of the incident wave has two plane components. The parallel incident component is called P-polarized aurora, and the perpendicular incident component is called S-polarized aurora. The polarization characteristics of light can be determined by the amplitude ratio Ψ and phase difference of the plane wave's S polarization and P polarization. (Δ decides). When a polarized light beam is reflected by the sample surface, it will cause changes in the amplitude and phase of the P and S polarized light. Using these two parameters, the refractive index, extinction coefficient and thickness of the film can be tested without destroying the surface characteristics of the sample. The obtained ellipse parameters use CompleteEASE 4.65 as the analysis software.
