The setup allows for characterization of emission properties of photoactive materials (e.g. photosensitizers, fluorescent markers, laser dyes, materials for modern light sources) using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.

In steady-state measurements, the samples are excited in the spectral range of 210-1000 nm with a xenon lamp light. Diode lasers generating picosecond laser pulses of different wavelengths and a Ti:sapphire laser tuneable in the 690-1050 nm range with the possibility of generating the second and third harmonic light are available for excitation of samples in time-resolved studies. Fluorescence spectra and decays can be typically recorded in the range of 230-850 nm. The measuring system also allows the integration of other excitation light sources and non-standard detectors, e.g. to increase the spectral range of measurements or to improve the temporal resolution. Modification of the sample holder for non-typical samples is also possible.

Elements included in the station:

  • Spectrofluorimeter
  • Electronic setup for time-resolved fluorescence measurements
  • Source of excitation pulses (picosecond diode lasers, tuneable femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser)

Pricing (netto):

  • Steady-state measurements of  materials’ photophysical properties: 500 PLN/hour
  • Time-resolved measurements of materials’ photophysical properties: 1000 PLN/hour
