Patent abstract
Methods and systems for determining information about the incident angle of a beam are disclosed, the method including directing a beam having an s-polarized component and a p-polarized component to reflect from an interface at a non-normal angle, where the non-normal reflection introduces for each component a phase change upon reflection that is different for each component, and measuring an optical interference signal related to the phase change between the components of the reflected beam.
