Knowledge of the temporal evolution of the complex optical properties in response to optical excitation is crucial for understanding of fundamental physical processes inherent in semiconductors. We demonstrate time-resolved ellipsometry in a pump-probe scheme employing continuum white-light probe and UV pump pulses. The ellipsometric approach allows to obtain the dynamics of the dielectric function in a broad spectral range with an estimated time resolution of 170fs. We will stress on essential experimental requirements and show data obtained from ZnO samples. We will also give an outlook on the pump-probe VUV ellipsometer being built up at ELI beamlines.
