LP980 pump-probe spectrometer

The LP980 from renowned manufacturer Edinburgh Instruments is a modular spectrometer for measuring transient absorption on time scales from nanoseconds to milliseconds. It uses a pump-probe excitation method to study the dynamics of photoinduced processes, with the probe beam source being a broad-spectrum Xe lamp operating in continuous or pulsed mode. This type of pump-probe spectroscopy is referred to as laser flash photolysis.

Key features

  • All-in-One spectrometer for measurement of transient absorption, laser-induced fluorescence and phosphorescence and time-resolved TA spectra
  • Dual sample chamber allowing for changing the geometry of the excitation and probe beam (perpendicular, quasi-collinear and diffuse arrangements)
  • Sensitivity ΔOD 0.002 (kinetic mode with photomultiplier tube) and ΔOD 0.0005 (spectral mode with ICCD)
  • Powerful monochromator with a focal length of 325 mm
  • Option to extend the instrument with an InGaAs detector for transient absorption measurements up to 2.55 µm
  • Probing with a stable 150 W xenon lamp
  • Single software package for all measurements and analysis of measured data

What else we can help with

Application

Parameters

The LP980 can operate in two basic modes:

  • Kinetic mode - LP980-K records the transient absorption waveform at a selected wavelength, while time-resolved absorption spectra can be obtained by scanning over the selected spectral range (a photomultiplier is used for detection as standard).
  • Combined (kinetic + spectral) mode - LP980-KS allows direct recording of time-resolved TA spectra in addition to transient absorption lifetime measurements (the detection system includes a photomultiplier and ICCD camera)

In addition to transient absorption (TA) and time-resolved TA spectra, the LP980 can also measure laser-induced fluorescence and phosphorescence.
