Dielectric vs Ellipsometry - What's the difference?

dielectric | ellipsometry |

As nouns the difference between dielectric and ellipsometry

is that dielectric is (physics) an electrically insulating or nonconducting material considered for its electric susceptibility, ie its property of polarization when exposed to an external electric field while ellipsometry is an optical technique for the investigation of the dielectric properties of thin films especially used in semiconductor manufacture.

As an adjective dielectric
