This technique is based on perpendicular-incidence photometric ellipsometry, in which a spectral-photometric dynamic ellipsometer with a rotating polarizer is used. This method is sensitive, contactless, nondestuctive, and efficient for the estimation of anisotropic behavior. Furthermore, the spectroscopic measurement directly provides the anisotropy dispersion down to the UV wavelength range. Results on structurally anisotropic HfO2, coatings are presented.enDünne optische Schichtexcimer laser opticsfluoride thin filmsFluoridschichtlaser induced damage thresholdLaserzerstörschwelleoptical coatingoptical thin filmsoxide thin filmsOxidschichtultraviolet spectral regionultravioletter SpektralbereichUV620535Perpendicular-incidence photometric ellipsometry of biaxial anisotropic thin filmsjournal article
