Abstract

We have recently developed a scatterometer for bi-dimensional rough surfaces which uses an elliptical mirror to direct the light toward the rough surface and to collect the scattered light and direct it to a CCD camera. This device has advantages over similar previous devices such as the time needed for measurement and operation range. We have calculated and measured the Mueller matrix of the elliptical mirror and we have compared them to test the validity of our method. Preliminary results show differences between theory and experiment that must be explained.
