High resolution AC temperature field imaging
Using a CCD camera and a multichannel lock-in scheme, the authors have enhanced the capabilities of photoreflectance microscopy to obtain a 2D image without scanning the sample, thus dramatically reducing the acquisition time. The photoreflectance images presented show Joule and Peltier heating of a polycrystalline Si 1 kΩ resistor across which a 30 mA peak to peak sinusoidal current is forced.
