Experimental light scattering by small particles: First results with a novel Mueller matrix scatterometer

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articleScientificpeer-review

Abstract

We describe a setup for measuring the full angular Mueller matrix profile of a single mm- to mu m-sized sample, and verify the experimental results against a theoretical model. The scatterometer has a fixed or levitating sample, illuminated with a laser beam whose full polarization state is controlled. The scattered light is detected with a combination of wave retarder, linear polarizer, and photomultiplier tube that is attached to a rotational stage. The first results are reported.
