UVISEL NIR

Overview

It uses a very high spectral resolution monochromator automatically controlled (choice of gratings, slits and detectors) for continuous measurements over the whole range. The VIS range is covered by a photomultiplier detector while the NIR range uses an InGaAs photodiode.

The spectral range of a spectroscopic ellipsometer is very important as it determines the possible applications. The NIR range provides two main advantages:

  • Longer wavelengths ensure a transparent region for thickness measurements of all the materials absorbing in the visible range.
  • The accuracy for the characterization of thick films is enhanced.

The UVISEL NIR is mainly dedicated to semiconductor, optical coatings, optoelectronic and telecommunication applications.
