This paper describes a new method to be used in photoreflectance
experiments in order to reduce the influence of parasitic effects
in the useful signal. Although theoretically the proposed method
eliminates all the parasitic effects, the non-ideal behavior of some
system components like the modulator finite switching time and the
lock-in phase error, reduce the predicted performance and have been
simulated using the programming language LabVIEW. Results show that
the method has clear advantages over others previously described in
the literature. Depending on the experimental facilities, two possible
working regimes are discussed.
