Outline of Final Research Achievements

We constructed a double-modulation, reflection-type terahertz (THz) ellipsometer for precise measurement of the thickness of a paint film that was coated on a metal surface, which was not transparent to the visible and the mid-infrared light. The double-modulation technique enabled us to obtain two ellipsometric parameters directly as a function of angular frequency with a single measurement, while reducing flicker noise due to a pump laser. In the THz frequency region, we carried out direct measurement of the geometric phase. We also proposed a high-sensitive measurement method of optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) of optically active samples by taking advantage of a nonlinear behavior of the geometric phase.
