A low-cost, simple optical setup for a fast scatterometry surface roughness measurements with nanometric precision [PDF]
We present a prototype of a simple, low-cost setup for a fast scatterometric surface texture measurements. We used a total integrated scatter method (TIS) with a semiconductor laser (λ = 638 nm) and a Si photodiode.

Satellite Remote Sensing of the Greenland Ice Sheet Ablation Zone: A Review
The Greenland Ice Sheet is now the largest land ice contributor to global sea level rise, largely driven by increased surface meltwater runoff from the ablation zone, i.e., areas of the ice sheet where annual mass losses exceed gains.

Spatio-temporal variability of snowmelt across Svalbard during the period 2000–08 derived from QuikSCAT/SeaWinds scatterometry [PDF]
Significant changes in Arctic systems are underway, which are attributed to global warming. An important example is reduction in snow and ice coverage due to intensified melting in many regions.

Modelling line edge roughness in periodic line-space structures by Fourier optics to improve scatterometry [PDF]
In the present paper, we propose a 2D-Fourier transform method as a simple and efficient algorithm for stochastical and numerical studies to investigate the systematic impacts of line edge roughness on light diffraction pattern of periodic line-space ...

Ka-Band Doppler Scatterometry over a Loop Current Eddy
Doppler scatterometry is a promising new technique for the simultaneous measurement of ocean surface currents and winds. These measurements have been recommended by the recent US NRC Decadal Review for NASA as being priority variables for the coming ...

Comparison of far field characterisation of DOEs with a goniometric DUV-scatterometer and a CCD-based system [PDF]
We have measured far field diffraction patterns of different diffractive optical elements at an illumination wavelength of 193 nm using a new type of goniometric DUV (deep ultraviolet) scatterometer.

Large-area scatterometry for nanoscale metrology
Many applications across photonics and semiconductor industries require the fabrication of nanostructures with non-trivial geometries with a precision and reproducibility down to the nanometer scale. Slanted gratings and metamaterials are examples of such designs that have vast applications in Augmented Reality and LiDAR.
