Abstract

An ellipsometer able to measure ellipticities down to 10−11 is being developed. We present here results of measurements made in order to test the main parts of the apparatus. The feasibility and the limits of such an ellipsometer are discussed, in particular in view of measuring the polarization of the vacuum induced by a magnetic field (photon-photon interaction).
