Descripción del proyecto
Time-resolved & steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy is one of the most important techniques in the investigation of luminescent nanostructures for optoelectronics, bio-imaging etc, The state-of-the-art technique, nowadays used in all leading optical spectroscopy laboratories, is a simultaneous scan of the spectral and temporal information through a Streak Camera system, driven by a femtosecond (fs) laser, The Streak camera allows to record the full spectral signatures of fluorescence on a few picosecond time scale containing a wealth of information on the systems, which usually require highly involved and slow techniques, The setup excellently complements the existing expertise in the lab, namely fs transient absorption,The system satisfies the need for highest flexibility, to work with a broad range of fluorescent nanostructured systems, whose analysis requires a broad spectral range, high time resolution and high sensitivity, This is of special importance for the large number of regional, national and international projects, which the team at IMDEA has been able to acquire, as well as the existing bilateral cooperation with in-house researchers, groups of the Campus of Excellence, where the institute is located, as well as national and international research groups and private enterprises, The relevance for such intersectorial transfer of knowledge is documented in the support of two companies (Belectric OPV, Synchimia) for the acquisition of the Streak camera system,
