Topography induced optical spectral shifts and finite size effect of focal spot
Résumé
We observe topography induced spectral shifts using high resolution grating spectrometers which we attribute to the fact that the focal spot has a finite size. The topography induced spectral shifts depend on spectrometer grating orientation and numerical aperture of the microscope objective. This is demonstrated by spectroscopic imaging trenches in GaAs in directions parallel and perpendicular the spectrometer entrance slit. Differences along the two directions of the LO phonon band show that the spectral shift is due to the variation of the grating angle across the non uniform illuminated focal spot caused by topography. Alignment errors of the optical axis lead to additional spectral shifts. Topography induced spectral shifts can be detected by recording spectra by scanning the sample in two perpendicular orientations with respect to the spectrometer entrance slit.
