Typical polarization optics system (see figure 1) generally comprises successively: polarized light generation device 1, sample 2, polarized light detecting device 3.Wherein, polarized light generation device 1 for generation of the known elliptically polarized light of polarization state (as linearly polarized light, circularly polarized light, elliptically polarized light etc.), the polarization state of 2 pairs of incident lights of sample is modulated by modes such as transmission, reflection, refraction, scatterings, and polarized light detecting device 3 is for detection of the polarization state of light wave behind sample 2 modulating actions.The testing process of system is: polarized light generation device 1 produces the known certain elliptical polarized light of polarization state; After sample 2 modulation, the polarization state of polarized light changes, and this variation is relevant with the character of sample 2; Optical polarization after utilizing polarized light detecting device 3 modulation detects; Set up the physical model of sample and polarization conversion, adopt mathematical method solve sample 2 relevant nature (as, dichroism, refractive index, extinction coefficient etc.).
In said system, typical polarized light generation device 1(is as shown in Figure 2) comprise at least a linearly polarized light generation device 10, some system also comprises phase delay device 11.In linearly polarized light generation device 10, light source 101 and linear polarizer 102 have been comprised, through the only linearly polarized photon of linear polarizer 102 outgoing; If also comprised phase delay device 11 in the polarized light generation device 1, can produce specific elliptically polarized light according to being arranged on phase delay device 11 exit ends so.This shows, in polarized light generation device 1, the linearly polarized light generation device 10 that is comprised of light source 101 and linear polarizer 102 is common parts, also is foundation.
In linearly polarized light generation device 10, light source 101 is for generation of the light beam with certain energy and spectral distribution.Can be divided into three kinds of forms such as lamp, partial polarization light source, complete polarized light source by outgoing polarization state light source 101.Wherein the lamp of random polarization distribution exists hardly, commonly has the partial polarization light source of certain polarization advantage.Along with the development of the development of light source technology, especially semiconductor technology, the polarized light source with high Linear polarization of laser has appearred comprising, and feature is that emergent light is linearly polarized photon, and its extinction ratio is generally greater than 100:1.This type of light source comprises polarization laser, polarization laser diode etc., has certainly also comprised the linear polarization light source that is composited by unpolarized light source and polaroid.This class linear polarization light source is used very extensive at present, and such as in ellipsometer, adopting the laser ellipsometer of linearly polarized laser device is exactly a class important instrument form.
Convenient for following discussion, do following agreement:
● the luminous energy of linear polarization light source 101 is I 0, the position angle of linear polarization light source 101 is defined as the plane of polarization of its emerging ray polarized light with respect to the anticlockwise angle of reference zero-bit, is designated as L.
● the position angle of linear polarizer 102 is defined as its light transmission shaft with respect to the anticlockwise angle of reference zero-bit, is designated as P.
● linear polarization light source 101 is designated as θ=P-L with the angle of linear polarizer 102.

● the position angle of wave plate be defined as fast axle with reference to the angle of zero-bit.
When aforesaid linear polarization light source 101 was applied to linearly polarized light generation device 10, investigating, energy utilized problem.According to Marlu's principle, the luminous energy behind linear polarizer 102 is I=I 0Cos 2θ.Whether the angle theta according to linear polarization light source 101 during the system works and linear polarizer 102 changes, minute following situation discussion:
(1) θ remains unchanged.This shows, constant by the luminous energy maintenance of linear polarizer 102 outgoing in system work process, if θ ≠ 0, so I ≠ I 0, namely linearly polarized light generation device 10 can not take full advantage of the energy of linear polarization light source 101, in order to take full advantage of the energy of linear polarization light source 101, will regulate θ=0 in the use;
(2) θ changes.Common phenomenon is that linear polarizer 102 will change the position angle, however linear polarization light source 101 owing to the reasons such as physical construction, device weight inconvenience with the former synchronously due to.This moment I=I 0Cos 2θ can become along with the variation of θ, this means during system works, can't keep constant by the luminous energy of linear polarizer 102 outgoing, for a lot of polarized systems, and precise quantitative measuring system especially, this will do one's utmost to be avoided.
In order to illustrate further the situation in above-mentioned (2), provide two kinds of typical systems at this:
(a) in the ellipsometer of the polarizer-sample-compensator-analyzer structure or the polarizer-compensator-sample-analyzer structure, when adopting light extinction method to carry out ellipse drift angle ψ and Δ measurement, need to repeatedly regulate the position angle of the polarizer and analyzer, finally reach delustring.In this system, linear polarization light source 101 can not rotate, in measuring process, constantly conversion of position angle along with the line polarizer 102, θ can change, the luminous energy that has caused entering the subsequent probe system can not keep constant, and this delustring judgement to signal can cause certain difficulty, even causes and can't measure;
(b) in the ellipsometer of the polarizer-sample-analyzer structure rotation polarizer, when adopting polarizer spinning solution to measure ψ and Δ measurement.Linear polarization light source 101 can not rotate, and the line polarizer 102 continuous rotations whenever rotate to a position angle, the system acquisition data.In this process, also can run into as above identical problem, cause carrying out the measurement of high accuracy, so this type of ellipsometer is used few.
This shows, in linear polarization generation device 10, face to solve two large problems arranged: how (1) farthest utilizes the luminous energy of linear polarization light source 101; (2) along with azimuthal relatively rotating between linear polarizer 102 and the linear polarization light source 101, constant by the energy reserving of the light of linear polarizer 102 outgoing.The problems referred to above are for quantitative measurement system especially weak signal detection system, and are particularly important.
