A Complete Platform for Time-Resolved Spectroscopy

Precision and Flexibility for Photoluminescence Studies

Combining steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in one platform, FluoTime 300 delivers high-end performance for advanced material science research. Its fully automated architecture integrates excitation sources, detection modules, and optical components into a seamlessly controlled system. Featuring exceptional temporal resolution, high sensitivity, and a modular design, it provides reliable and reproducible data across a wide range of photoluminescence experiments. The broad spectral range from UV to NIR enables full material characterization within a single setup.

Probing Quantum Dots for Brighter LEDs

Researchers from Koç University and PicoQuant used FluoTime 300 to investigate how quantum dots can improve the efficiency and color quality of next-generation LEDs. By combining time-resolved photoluminescence and electroluminescence measurements, they revealed how carrier dynamics and recombination lifetimes influence device performance. The study demonstrates how the FluoTime 300 enables a complete optical characterization of novel light-emitting materials, from emission spectra to lifetime analysis.

Precision Technology for Unmatched Spectroscopic Performance

At the core of the FluoTime 300 is a set of advanced technologies designed for high precision, flexibility, and reliable signal quality:

  • Precision and Range: Covers lifetimes from picoseconds to milliseconds and supports steady-state as well as time-resolved operation modes
  • Automated Modularity: Fully automated, modular system architecture enabling flexible configurations, consistent performance and future upgrades.
  • Spectral Versatility: Single or double monochromator in excitation and emission with switchable additive and subtractive modes.
  • Exceptional Sensitivity: Achieves water Raman signal-to-noise ratios exceeding 32,000:1 for detecting weak emissions.
  • Microscopy Upgrade Capability: Compatible with optional micro-photoluminescence upgrades that enable spatially resolved and remote fluorescence spectroscopy for advanced material characterization.

Analyzing Wavelength-Dependent Carrier Dynamics

Time-resolved emission spectra were recorded using TCSPC to resolve wavelength-dependent luminescence decays in a semiconductor. The measurements reveal how charge carrier lifetimes vary across the emission spectrum, enabling detailed analysis of recombination dynamics and material properties.
