Abstract
Reflectometer, Spectrophotometer, Ellipsometer and Polarimeter Systems that utilize 1) electromagnetic radiation energy absorbing or reflecting material of spatially distributed different optical densities and 2) wavelength dependent electromagnetic radiation energy aperturing, or both, placed near the entry to said multi-element detector, to improve detector capability to monitor intensity vs. wavelength spectra entered thereinto and provide more uniform detector output, while preferably maintaining beam information content.
