Measurements methods

M-line spectroscopy (Metricon Prism Coupler)

The Metricon Model Prism Coupler utilizes advanced optical waveguiding techniques to rapidly and accurately measure both the thickness and the refractive index/birefringence of dielectric and polymer films as well as refractive index of bulk materials at five wavelenghts (473, 633, 964, 1311 or 1552 nm). The method offers unique advantages over conventional refractometers and instruments based on ellipsometry or spectrophotometry.

M-line spectroscopy (Metricon Prism Coupler)
The Metricon Model Prism Coupler.
  • completely general knowledge of optical properties of film/substrate required,
  • routine index resolution of ±.0005 (accuracy of up to ±.0001 available for many applications),
  • routine index resolution of ±.0003 (resolution of up to ±.00005 available for many applications),
  • high accuracy index measurement of bulk materials,
  • rapid characterization of thin films or diffused optical waveguides,
  • simple measurement of index vs wavelength,
  • options to measure waveguide loss,
  • wide index measurement range (1.0 – 3.35).
