Abstract

SiGe/Si optical channel waveguide structure stress is investigated using Raman imaging. This stress is produced by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between a Si3N4 stripe and a SiGe layer beneath the stripe. These areas are imaged using Raman polarization selection rules for two transverse optical phonons, relating the Raman peaks to strain components, and then refractively index changes via the photoelastic effect.
