 INTRODUCTION

After studying the article the principles of ellipsometry and signal acquisition and processing techniques, in this section we describe in more detail the instrumentation, in the case of a rotating polarizer ellipsometer, and present some recent developments and extensions of this technique as described in the first article. We then give a brief overview of ellipsometry's fields of application, and conclude with a comparison with other surface analysis techniques.
