Abstract

The residual stress in a synthetic diamond substrate was analyzed using an automatic data acquisition and analysis system based on photoelastic principles. Digital image processing techniques were applied to improve the quality of the sensed images, to reduce noise and to determine the boundary of the measured samples. Methods were also introduced to calculate the birefringence phase difference and principal stress directions. The shearing stress difference method was applied to calculate the two-dimensional stress distribution.
