Micro-Raman measurements are performed with a focused laser beam. Because of its finite diameter (approx 1 mu m) and penetration depth, the laser beam samples a "large volume" of the sample. In a nonuniformly strained sample, spectra originating from different points are different. Therefore the observed spectrum depends on both the strain distribution in the sample and the absorption coefficient of the laser light. We describe a method to calculate the Raman spectra taking these factors into account. The calculated spectra show excellent agreement with the experimental results.
