Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010081999A1] The invention relates to a method and to a device (2) for determining at least one piece of polarisation information on a measurement point of a target sample (8), the device (2) comprising: - a light source (4) capable of emitting a rectilinearly polarised light beam, the light beam being intended to be reflected by the measurement point; - a means (9) for computing polarisation information on the measurement point using the beam reflected by the target sample (8); - at least one waveguide (6) for guiding the incident beam towards the target sample (8) and the reflected beam towards the computing means (9); and - a means (22) for rotating the polarisation, capable of rotating two orthogonal polarimetric components of the incident beam after passing through the waveguide and two orthogonal polarimetric components of the reflected beam before passing through the waveguide.
