Modern electro-optical components and design approaches allow superior multi-angular scatterometers and highly accurate transmissometers to be fabricated. Various design approaches are discussed and their several aspects contrasted. Calibration procedures, tests, methods, performance deficiencies, and correction methods are discussed theoretically and practically for a semiconductor-laser-based instrument.
