FR-pOrtable is a unique, miniaturized, turn-key solution for accurate & precise non-destructive optical characterization of transparent and semi-transparent single films or stack of films. With FR-pOrtable the user can perform reflectance measurements for films in the 350-1000 nm spectral range.
The compact size of FR-pOrtable and the custom designed reflection probe, guarantee highly accurate and repeatable measurements.
FR-pOrtable can be either mounted on the supplied stage or can be easily transformed to a handheld thickness measurement tool to be placed over the sample under characterization. FR-pOrtable is the only optical characterization tool for in-field applications.

Principle of Operation
White Light Reflectance Spectroscopy (WLRS) measures the amount of light reflected from a film or a multilayer stack over a range of wavelengths, with the incident light normal (perpendicular) to the sample surface.
The measured reflectance spectrum, produced by interference from the interfaces is being used to determine the thickness, optical constants (n & k), etc. of free-standing and supported (on transparent or partially/fully reflective substrates) stack of films.
