A normal incidence rotating compensator ellipsometer includes an illumination source that produces a broadband probe beam. The probe beam is redirected by a beam splitter to be normally incident on a sample under test. Before reaching the sample, the probe beam is passed through a rotating compensator. The probe beam is reflected by the sample and passes through the rotating compensator a second time before reaching a detector. The detector converts the reflected probe beam into equivalent signals for analysis.
