title: Transmission ellipsometric method without an aperture for simple and reliable evaluation of electro-optic properties.
abstract: A transmission ellipsometric method has been reformed without a spatial filtering aperture to characterize electro-optic (EO) performance of EO polymers. This method affords much simpler optical setup compared to the reflection method, and lets us easily perform detailed incident angle dependence measurements using a conventional glass substrate and an un-collimated beam. It is demonstrated that the reliable characterization with this method is possible in combination with a simple data analysis. By using the recently matured deposition technique of indium zinc oxide (IZO) on soft materials, it is possible to prepare the EO polymer sandwiched between two transparent electrodes. Thus the transmission method should be re-evaluated.
