    Abstract: A system for inspecting a slab of material may include an optical fiber, a broadband light source configured to emit light having wavelengths of 780-1800 nanometers over the optical fiber, a beam-forming assembly configured to receive the light over the optical fiber and direct the light toward a slab of material, the beam-forming assembly may be configured to maintain the position of one or more elements within the beam-forming assembly despite changes in environmental temperature; a computer-controlled etalon filter configured to receive the light over the optical fiber, filter the light, and direct the light over the optical fiber; and a computer-controlled spectrometer configured to receive the light over the optical fiber after the light has been filtered by the etalon filter and after the light has been reflected from or transmitted through the slab of material and spectrally analyze the light.

    Abstract: A method for non-contact measurement of stress in a thin-film deposited on a substrate is disclosed. The method may include measuring first topography data of a substrate having a thin-film deposited thereupon. The method may also include comparing the first topography data with second topography data of the substrate that is measured prior to thin-film deposition. The method may further include obtaining a vertical displacement of the substrate based on the comparison between the first topography data and the second topography data. The method may also include detecting a stress value in the thin-film deposited on the substrate based on a fourth-order polynomial equation and the vertical displacement.
