Abstract

A theoretical model is presented for detecting very small (less than size of an atom) distortions of a dielectric microsphere at distances beyond the resolution limit of an imaging optical system. The method described involves illumination of the object with the circularly polarized light and the ellipsometry of the backscattered light. Comparing the results for right and left polarizations of the incident light gives also information of the spatial attitude (orientation) of the deformed sphere.
