Time-resolved Raman stress measurement


In this research, we measured the local dynamic stress on Si resonator using micro Raman spectroscopy. In order to achieve time-resolved measurement of local dynamic stress, pulsed laser is needed as the incident laser. So we developed and evaluated MEMS optical chopper, which modulates CW laser, then achieved the time-resolved Raman stress measurement of Si resonator.
