◈Elli-AAL


This system provides the ellipsometric data which are accurate enough for the quantitative characterization of ultra-small optical anisotropy of alignment layer(AAL) like a rubbed PI surface.


The rubbed PI is optically modelled as a double layer consisted of a uniaxial surface layer and an isotropic bulk layer. Thickness of each layer, azimuth angle and tilt angle of optic axis, birefringence of the uniaxial surface layer, are determined.
