Laser-ellipsometric monitoring of corrosive attack

The problems under consideration are related to the development and practical application of laser, reflectometric, and ellipsometric methods of diagnostics of corrosion damage both at the micro and macro level. The following basic methods of probe laser and ellipsometric studies of corrosion electrochemical processes are considered: automatic and return-path ellipsometry, microscopic and video ellipsometric techniques, methods of light scattering, fluctuation and noise reflectometry, probe noise ellipsometry, microlocalized electrochemical processes, remote ellipsometry, laser and spectral tomography, and information optical 3D technologies for reconstructing the 3D structure of heterogeneous near-electrode layer. The primary attention was focused on the problems of application of laser and ellipsometric methods in the practice of real corrosion electrochemical studies.
