Practical photoluminescence and photoreflectance spectroscopic system for optical characterization of semiconductor
Abstract:
We present a practical experimental design for performing photoluminescence (PL) and photoreflectance (PR) measurements of semiconductors with only one PL spectroscopic system. The measurement setup is more cost efficient than typical PL-plus-PR systems. The design of the experimental setup of the PL-PR system is described in detail. Measurements of two actual device structures, a high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) and a double heterojunction-bipolar transistor (DHBT), are carried out by using this design. The experimental PL and PR spectra of the HEMT device, as well as polarized-photoreflectance (PPR) spectra of the DHBT structure, are analyzed in detailed and discussed. The experimental analyses demonstrate the well-behaved performance of this PL-PR design.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
