Abstract:
An ellipsometry system detects and/or identifies significant corrosion on glass, such as on soda-lime-silica based float glass. In certain example embodiments, there is provided a method and/or system using ellipsometry to detect and/or identify significant corrosion on soda-lime-silica based glass, so that such significantly corroded glass can be identified and not coated with a low-E coating and/or not used in applications where optical appearance is important. The ellipsometry system may be part of, or used in connection with, a sputtering apparatus/system for sputter-depositing low-E coatings on glass, so that whether to pass a piece of glass to the sputtering apparatus/system is based on whether significant corrosion is detected on the glass.

Claim (Index 28):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the determining comprises determining whether or not the glass sheet has significant corrosion thereon based at least on a plurality of measured delta (\u0394) values from the glass sheet and based on differences in values of the plurality of measured delta values, where the measured delta (\u0394) values are based on at least a polarization change between the radiation incident on the glass sheet and the radiation reflected by the glass sheet.
