Abstract: An optical module includes: a diffraction grating configured to rotate and focus a beam, which is incident thereon from an incident path, onto a Fourier plane, a digital micromirror array (DMD) configured to assign a frequency for each wavelength of the focused beam received at the Fourier plane, and perform a Fourier transform for each frequency, and a first optical fiber configured to receive a beam that is reflected back from the DMD back and the diffraction grating, and along the incident path.

Abstract: A measuring system measures an overall resistance of two or more films on a substrate/measurement object by a terahertz absorption measurement and an overall film thickness by a photoacoustic measurement. The system estimates a first film thickness based on the overall resistance, then subtracts this estimated thickness from the overall film thickness measured by the photoacoustic measurement. The system includes a source unit to output a laser beam. A first pump-probe unit receives the laser beam and performs a photoacoustic test on the measurement object. A second pump-probe unit receives the laser beam and performs a terahertz signal test on the measurement object.

Abstract: A dual resolution spectrometer includes a slit plate comprising a slit receiving light reflected from a measurement target. The slit plate directs the light reflected from the measurement target to a first mirror. The first mirror reflects light from the slit to a diffraction grating. The diffraction grating disperses light from the first mirror according to a wavelength of the light. The diffraction grating directs light in a first wavelength region to a second mirror and directs light in a second wavelength region to a third mirror. The second mirror reflects the light in the first wavelength region to a detector. The third mirror reflects the light in the second wavelength region to the detector. The detector detects the light in the first wavelength region and the light in the second wavelength region with different resolutions from each other.
