Abstract: Photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy system and method for accumulating separately a “pump on” light beam and a “pump off light beam reflecting off a sample. The system comprises: (a) a probe source for producing a probe beam, the probe beam is used for measuring spectral reflectivity of a sample, (b) a pump source for producing a pump beam, (c) at least one spectrometer, (d) a first modulation device to allow the pump beam to alternatingly modulate the spectral reflectivity of the sample, so that, a light beam reflecting from the sample is alternatingly a “pump on” light beam and a “pump off light beam, (e) a second modulation device in a path of the light beam reflecting off the sample to alternatingly direct the “pump on” light beam and the “pump off light beam to the at least one spectrometer, and (f) a computer.

Abstract: An optical measurement system, the optical measurement system comprises optics, wherein the optics include a collection path and an illumination path and an objective lens. The optics is configured to acquire Raman spectrums of one or more structural elements located at a measurement site of the sample while being set-up to apply one or more optics parameters that comprise an illumination angle out of a set of multiple illumination angles that correspond to a numerical aperture of the objective lens. Each of the one or more structural elements has a dimension that ranges between one tenth of nanometer to one hundred microns; an optical spectrometer; a Raman detector that is downstream to the optical spectrometer; and a control unit that is configured to determine an expected radiation pattern to be detected by the Raman detector when the optics are set-up to apply the one or more optics parameters.
