Polarized Light Reflectometer, R. M.A. Azzam Sep 1994

Polarized Light Reflectometer, R. M.A. Azzam

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

The modulated reflected and nonreflected light fluxes, measured as the azimuth of incident linearly polarized light is varied, yield the absolute reflectances Rp, and Rs, of a dielectric or semiconductor surface. Application to a reflective Si detector determines the refractive index and thickness of a SiO2 film on the detector surface.

Direct Relation Between Fresnel's Interface Reflection Coefficients For The Parallel And Perpendicular Polarizations: Erratum 2, R. M.A. Azzam Jul 1994

Direct Relation Between Fresnel's Interface Reflection Coefficients For The Parallel And Perpendicular Polarizations: Erratum 2, R. M.A. Azzam

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

The record is set straight concerning two equations that determine the reflection phase shifts at a single interface from the intensity reflectances forp- and s-polarized light at one angle of incidence. These equations appeared previously in this journal [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 69, 1007 (1979); erratum, J. Opt. Soc. Am. 70, 261 (1980)].

Computation Of Stable Invariant Subspaces Of Hamiltonian Matrices, R. V. Patel, Z. Lin, Pradeep Misra Jan 1994

Computation Of Stable Invariant Subspaces Of Hamiltonian Matrices, R. V. Patel, Z. Lin, Pradeep Misra

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper addresses some numerical issues that arise in computing a basis for the stable invariant subspace of a Hamiltonian matrix. Such a basis is required in solving the algebraic Riccati equation using the well-known method due to Laub. Two algorithms based on certain properties of Hamiltonian matrices are proposed as viable alternatives to the conventional approach.
