Title: From angle-resolved ellipsometry of light scattering to imaging in random media

Journal Article · · Applied Optics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.47.00C257· OSTI ID:21120733

A procedure is described to allow selective cancellation of polarized scattering within optical substrates and multilayers. It is shown how bulk scattering(respectively surface) can be directly eliminated while the remaining roughness(respectively bulk) signal is still measurable. The same procedure can be applied to isolate a single interface or bulk within a stack or to detect slight departure from perfect correlation within multilayers. Experiments and a procedure for selective imaging in random media are described.
