The VisIR-765 “STED” - A Versatile Picosecond Pulsed Laser Module for Spectroscopy and MicroscopyStudying luminescence lifetime is a very powerful analytical tool, as it provides insights into the excited state dynamics of molecules, complexes, or semi-conductors. Pulsed laser modules with temporal pulse widths in the range of tens to a few hundred ps and easy selection of pulse repetition rates are required for measuring fluorescence lifetimes. We highlight here the modules from PicoQuant’s VisIR/VisUV laser platform and what makes them ideal excitation sources for such applications.

Combining mechanical and electrical functions in one optimized, easy-to-integrate device, they speed the design process and ensure smallest system size. Electrical connections are DC...
How to Design a Detector Noise Limited Instrument with PbSe DetectorsPyrometers, NDIR gas analyzers, and flame monitoring systems, often make use of MWIR photoconductive PbSe detectors. Particularly, when high sensitivity and quick response time at an affordable cost are required. In order to achieve the optimal...
Charge Carrier Recombination Dynamics of Semiconductor PhotocatalystPhotocatalysis, the induction of chemical changes by absorption of light, is crucial for many environmental studies and sought for water splitting and hydrogen production1,2, removal of pollutants3,4, as well as artificial photosynthesis5. With this...
Selecting The Right Hyperspectral Imager Is Key To Bringing Critical Data Into ViewHyperspectral imaging is a valuable technique for revealing data the eye alone cannot capture. Revealing different characteristics from an image, hyperspectral imaging is highly prized for many applications, from gathering forensic evidence and...
Gas Purging Keeps UV Spectrophotometers HealthyMeasuring in the far-UV (FUV) 120-220 nm presents unique challenges. The high energy that makes UV light interesting can cause photochemical formation of organic films on optical surfaces. These films cause increasing, wavelength-dependent loss of...
The VisIR-765 “STED” - Versatile Picosecond Pulsed Laser Module for Spectroscopy and MicroscopyStudying luminescence lifetime data is a very powerful analytical tool for spectroscopists and microscopists alike, as it provides insights into the excited state dynamics of luminescent species. The luminescence lifetime is an intrinsic...
Application Note: Kinetics of Persistent Luminescence PhosphorsPersistent luminescence, or commonly called afterglow, is characterized by long-lasting visible emission over several hours after ultraviolet excitation. This finds wide application in glow-in-the-dark signage and in-vivo imaging for disease...
Application Note: Ocean FX High Speed Applications in Home LightingUnbeknownst to us, most of the light sources we use for general home illumination have some “flicker” associated with them, due primarily to the AC nature of the current provided for power. While this occurs at rates faster than the typical human...
Space-Certified DBR™ Lasers for Mission Critical ApplicationsLaser diodes have been used for many years in space applications. Their main use has been as pumps for solid-state lasers, and qualification methodologies have been developed for these applications. In recent years, however, increasingly complex...
Analysis of Small Samples Using the LUMOS Stand-alone FTIR MicroscopeFourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopy is a well-established method for the analysis of samples that are too small or complex to be measured in a standard infrared spectrometer. The new LUMOS Stand-alone FTIR microscope offers a fully...
Quantitative Laser Raman Spectroscopy of GasesLaser Raman spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique that is used in a variety of applications for the compositional analysis of solid, liquid and gaseous samples. This whitepaper looks at some examples of how Raman systems can be used to...
Particle Analysis by Raman MicroscopyThere are many occasions where analyzing unknown particles can be important. Examples include illicit drug analysis, particulate adhesions occurring in a recycling process, electronics manufacturing, particles in liquid biomedical products, and many...
Working with your benchtop spectrometer at high and low sample cuvette temperaturesSpectroscopy labs are home to spectrometers of varying types: UV-Vis-NIR absorbance, fluorescence, and circular dichroism, for example, all sitting on benches at room temperature. When a scientist wants to measure spectral properties of a sample at...
