FLS1000 - Spectrometer:
Steady-State
- 450 W Xe lamp
- Double grating monochromators in Czerny-Turner configuration on excitation and emission side (325 mm each. 1800 lines/mm, linear dispersion 1.7 nm/mm),
- Peltier-cooled (-20 °C) PMT-980 photon multiplier (200 nm - 950 nm)
- Various CW turnkey laser diodes (power tunable) with different wavelengths
Time-resolved
- 60 W Xe flashlamp (pulse width 1.5 µs...2.5 µs; pulse frequency 0.1 Hz...100 Hz) for decay times in the ms range
- Various VPL lasers with different wavelengths; variable pulse widths between 50 ns and 1 ms; multi-channel scaling with repetition rates of 5 kHz...100 MHz for decay times in the µs - ms range
- Access to various EPL lasers with different wavelengths; pulse width ~ 75 ps, time-correlated single photon counting with repetition rates of 20 kHz...20 MHz for decay times in the ns range
