Stokes ellipsometers utilize a stable spectrally precise HeNe Gas laser to obtain the complete state of polarization of the measuring beam providing exceptional accuracy and precision. Gaertner helped pioneer ellipsometry and now offer high quality Stokes laser ellipsometers for routine measurements in the semiconductor, solar, chemical, biological and other thin film industries. They are easy to use popular alternative to overly complicated and less precise spectroscopic ellipsometers.
