Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting Fluorescence System

Location:   Research team of Prof. Josef Michl
Responsible person:   Dr. Jiří Kaleta (phone 220 183 342)

MIRA laser system


Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting Fluorescence System is used for determination of fluorescence lifetimes and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy. The system is useful for following molecular rotations, especially the motion of rotor molecules included in TPP. Key parts of the system are:

 

  • Coherent Mira 900 Ti:Sapphire laser system
  • Coherent Harmonic Generator 9300s
  • APE Pulse Select - tool of choice for pulse picking from trains of pulses from ultrafast laser systems
  • CVI Melles Griot research grade optical tabletop
  • cryocooled sample chamber

 

Ellipsometer L116S
