Abstract

A sensor measuring properties of a substrate in which radiation is projected onto the substrate by a radiation projector that has a first part configured such that the radiation projection can project onto the substrate linearly polarized radiation oriented in a first direction and a second part configured such that the radiation projector can project onto the substrate linearly polarized radiation oriented in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.
