A system for in-situ monitoring at least one aspect of a chemical mechanical planarization process can include a CMP pad, CMP pad dresser with at least a translucent portion, and an optical sensor. The optical sensor can be configured to optically engage the CMP pad through the translucent portion of the CMP pad dresser. Methods of monitoring chemical mechanical planarization processes can include using such CMP pad dresser to view a performance characteristic through the CMP pad dresser.
