MUELLER POLARIMETERS

Hinds Instruments specializes in the development of custom Mueller Matrix Polarimeter Systems for challenging research and industrial process applications requiring ultra high sensitivity and repeatability in distinguishing specific, low level Mueller Matrix elements.

Our Applications Research Group has delivered best-in-class solutions to leading customers in flat panel display and optical lithography applications. These include applications requiring the measurement of:

√ Low-level linear and circular retardation, with minimal interaction between them

√ All 6 polarization parameters (linear retardation – magnitude and angle; circular retardation – magnitude; linear diattenuation – magnitude and angle; and circular diattenuation – magnitude) of DUV light, with minimal interaction between them.

√ Linear and circular retardation, where there is significant interaction between them.

Features:

Highest available sensitivity

Laboratory grade repeatability

Customized to polarization properties of interest

Minimal wavelength restrictions (DUV to IR)

Normal incident and oblique incident angle capability

Measurement cycle times appropriate for production processes

Software packages with extensive features
