Abstract
A control system is presented for use in measuring one or more parameters of a sample. The control system comprises an input utility and a processor utility. The input utility is configured for receiving input data including first data comprising X-ray Diffraction or High-Resolution X-ray Diffraction (XRD) response data of the sample indicative of a material distribution in the sample, and second data comprising optical response data of the sample to incident light indicative of at least a geometry of the sample. The processor utility is configured and operable for processing and analyzing one of the first and second data for optimizing the other one of the first and second data, and utilizing the optimized data for determining said one or more parameters of the sample including a strain distribution in the sample.
