Abstract
One can obtain absolute ellipsometric data from a reflective sample by employing entangled-photon pairs that are generated by type-II SPDC in a non-collinear configuration. The underlying physics that permits such ellipsometric measurements resides in the fact that fourth-order quantum interference of the photon pairs, in conjunction with polarization entanglement, emulates an idealized classical ellipsometric setup that utilizes a source and a detectro that are both calibrated absolutely.
