Abstract

In a measuring apparatus for a semiconductor multiple layer structure, a spectrometer disperses light from a sample for measurement of the photoluminescence spectrum or disperses probe light to irradiate the sample for the measurement of the reflection spectrum. A controller makes a guide member guide the white light to the spectrometer and acquire electric signals from a first detector for the measurement of the reflection spectrum, and makes the guide member guide the light from the spectrometer to a second detector to acquire electric signals for the measurement of the photoluminescence spectrum.
