ABSTRACT:
An optical system for a high-sensitivity reflectivity measurement equipment having a simple structure enhances the light utilization efficiency and simplifies the production process and reduces the cost.
An aspherical concave mirror with a predetermined range opened at the central portion and one focal point set on the outside of the end surface of the opening is used. The region width of the mirror surface measured from the plane the opening is so determined that the incident light from a proper light source and reflected by the mirror surface to enters the sample placed at the focal point at an incident angle .theta. where 60.degree..ltoreq..theta.<90.degree.. The incident light is reflected by the aspherical concave mirror and the sample surface and again by the aspherical concave mirror so as to become outgoing light for detection. Thus, appropriate and efficient incidence of light to the sample is enabled by a very simple structure having the aspherical concave mirror as the main element. High utilization of effective light is enabled and the detection accuracy is enhanced.
