That uses the polarization properties of light to measure the phase retardation induced by the birefringence of the RNFL.4 This method is essentially based on a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope with an integrated ellipsometer. The polarizer can be divided into three, namely, the linearly polarized light, ellipsometry and circularly polarized light. Ellipsometry and Polarized Light, R. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, and gravitational waves exhibit polarization; acoustic waves (sound waves) in a gas or liquid do not have polarization because the direction of vibration and direction of propagation are the same. Bashara: Ellipsometry And Polarized Light (North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1977). The Handbook of Ellipsometry is a critical foundation text on an increasingly critical subject. The complex where rp and rs are the reflection coefficients for the parallel and perpendicular polarizations, respectively. Meltser and Broza had noticed that the tormenting insects prefer patches of water that reflect little light, and when they heard that dark water reflects more polarized light than brightly lit water the pair wondered whether the insects were basing their . Nonlinear optical ellipsometry was developed to interpret polarization information of the second harmonic generated (SHG) light at thin-surface films. Ellipsometry is a unique optical technique of great sensitivity for in situ non-destructive characterization of surface (inter-facial) phenomena (reactions) utilizing the change in the state of polarization of a light-wave probe. When analyzing the polarization of light, ellipsometry provides information about layers that are much thinner than probing light's wavelength. Ellipsometry is the analysis of the change in the state of polarized light after it has reflected from the surface of a thin film sample. In ellipsometry, the change of the polarization state of linearly polarized light is measured upon reflection at the surface. To do so, the PVLAS experiment has a sensitive ellipsometer attempting to detect the small changes in the polarization state of light propagating through a 1 m long magnetic field region in vacuum.

In order to comprehend spectroscopic ellipsometry, however, a fundamental knowledge for optics is required. One technique that we worked with very early is called ellipsometry. In the book, therefore, 'Principles of Optics' and 'Polarization of Light' are described (Chapters 2 and 3).
