摘要：

We present a novel interferometric technique for performing ellipsometric measurements. This technique relies on the use of a nonclassical optical source, namely, polarization-entangled twin photons generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion from a nonlinear crystal, in conjunction with a coincidence-detection scheme, Ellipsometric measurements acquired with this scheme are absolute; i.e., they do not require source and detector calibration.
