Use of Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry in Order to Determine Contaminant Optical PropertiesIn order to measure contaminant levels found in the manufacture of the Redesigned Solid Rocket Motor (RSRM), optical properties of the contaminants are needed to develop standards for calibration purposes. Specific to our efforts is the determination of the complex index of refraction for a hydrocarbon mixture and a commercial methyl siloxane. Using ellipsometric measurements with multiple angles of incident and a range of wavelengths in the near infrared a determination of the index of refraction and the extinction coefficient were made for the contaminants. This paper will present the optical techniques and modeling approach used to determine these optical constants of the hydrocarbon mixture and the methyl siloxane studied.
