Our Time-Resolved Fluorescence Spectrometer (TRFLS) offers versatile functionality for researchers gathering fluorescence kinetic traces. The standard fluorescence upconversion platform can be coupled with an ultrafast oscillator, amplifier, SHG/THG, OPA/OPO, while the optional time-correlated single photon counting setup can be added to systems pumped by fs oscillators.
In fluorescent up conversion, the fluorescent sample is pumped by a femtosecond pulse and the fluorescence is up converted using an optically gated pulse to generate sum frequency radiation. The up converted light is then spectrally resolved via monochromator or spectrograph using a PMT. The software automatically controls the up conversion crystal’s phase matching angle and monochromator grating angle throughout the fluorescent wavelength range of interest. The software also controls the delay line and gathers time-resolved information which is displayed in a 3D color plot. Calibrated GVD and photometric corrections of spectra are also automated in the software. Compared to pump-probe spectroscopy techniques such as transient absorption, the data interpretation of fluorescence up conversion is straightforward as only emission is measured. Fluorescence up conversion offers fs-resolved dynamics information over a range of 3.3 ns in the UV-VIS and IR spectral ranges.

Time-correlated Single Photon Counting Option
For researchers interested in studying time dynamics out to µs time range, time-correlated single photon counting can be added primarily as an option for systems being pumped by femto or picosecond oscillators. TCSPC covers the UV-VIS wavelength ranges with high resolution. The TCSPC method is highly sensitive, so this will work well even for weak signals.
