Description:

Woollam VASE is a variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometer. Typical applications are the determination of the thickness and refractive index of thin films and coatings, the analysis of diffusion from surfaces, and the study of grating diffraction efficiency. The hardware is supported by a software, WVASE32, dedicated to the interpretation of the ellipsometric spectra, with access to a wide database of materials and models.
