A spectroscopic ellipsometer system comprising a plurality of individual sources which are sequentially energized to provide a sequence of beams, each of different polarization state but directed along a common locus toward a sample. The preferred spectroscopic ellipsometer system has no parts which move during data collection, and it provides a progressive plurality of sequentially discrete, rather than continuously varying, polarization states.
