Abstract

A photoacoustic system with ellipsometer, where the ellipsometer includes a laser light source for generating an incident beam, an element for focusing the incident beam on a sample, a unit for measuring the change in amplitude of the incident beam on reflection and a unit for measuring the phase difference of the incident beam on reflection. The system further includes an element to convert an input narrow spectrum beam generated by the laser light source to a broadband sample measurement beam that is focused onto the sample.
