Micro-photoluminescence Multimodal Imaging
- Steady-state and time-resolved spectra from defined regions of interest
- Multidimensional dataset: spectral, temporal, and spatial information
- Various microscope-spectrometer coupling options
- Highly modular and flexible design
- Outstanding spectral and temporal sensitivity
PicoQuant specialises in time-resolved spectrometers and microscopes. Combining expertise from both fields, we offer instruments for time-resolved micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy that integrate spatial, spectral, and lifetime measurements. By coupling microscopes and spectrometers, both high-resolution steady-state and time-resolved emission spectra of specific sample regions or points of interest can be acquired. These multi-dimensional data sets provide valuable new insights that are beneficial to materials science in a variety of fields such as photovoltaics, LEDs, and semiconductors. In particular, the combination of spectral and lifetime measurements of micro-photoluminescence is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the local photo-physical and electronic properties of different types of materials or devices.
Micro-photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, on the one hand, are fundamental for analyzing a wide range of materials. On the other hand, microscope images reveal the spatial variation of luminescence properties, e.g., due to structural defects in materials. Moreover, the luminescence lifetime is an intrinsic characteristic of materials, which can be used either for their identification or to sense their local environment. By combining all three types of information from correlated data sets, researchers can draw new conclusions about the properties and behavior of the materials under study.
