At the beginning of July 2018, we installed the FLS1000 modular fluorescence spectrometer at the Institute of Biotechnology of the CAS, which allows us to measure steady-state luminescence spectra and fluorescence and phosphorescence lifetimes. The fluorimeter will be used to study photoinduced processes in predominantly organic materials.
In addition to powerful monochromators, TCSPC/MCS electronics and a fast detector, the system includes a total of 5 different types of light sources, temperature-controlled cuvette holders and a delay generator. This allows the setup to meet the requirement for high flexibility and variability of the experimental setup.
Light sources integrated in the system
- Continuous Xe lamp
- Microsecond Xe lamp
- Picosecond tunable SuperK EXTREME supercontinuum laser
- Picosecond laser diode set
- Picosecond LED set
Detectors
- Detection: cooled PMT detector for lifetime measurements from 100 ps to 960 ms
- Possibility to adjust the delay between 2 synchronized laser sources using a delay generator (time-resolved pump-probe luminescence)
