I read your message forwarded to me by a collegue, and look for helping you :

Find herafter 2 labs playing with such an ellipsometer in France :

B. DREVILLON
Laboratoire de Physique des Interfaces et des Couches Minces
Ecole Polytechnique

Please, what MEMS stand for ? I am involved in pyroelectric imagers...

I am searching for institutions/companies that may
have an ellipsometer for directly measuring thin film
(metal and dielectric) optical constants (n and k)
in the region from 8 to 15 microns (i.e., 1250/cm
to 667/cm   or 3.75e13 Hz to 2.00e13 Hz   or
0.16eV to 0.083 eV).

My literature search to date has suggested that the
only such devices exist in Europe (France and Germany).

I would appreciate any leads on any such devices
either commercially available or "jerry-rigged" in
some lab.  The application is for a MEMS-related
pyroelectric detection system.
