Spectroscopy and Imaging

We offers a number of time-resolved spectrometers along with data analysis software.

Our instruments are being employed in many aspects of research in modern photoscience, such as photophysics, photochemistry, photobiology, materials science, nanoscience, and solar energy conversion and storage. Examples of research topics include electronic state deactivation, vibrational energy redistribution, electron and energy transfer both inter- and intra-molecularly and solvation dynamics.

Processes can be measured at variable temperatures including cryogenic. Our spectrometers also allow to study solid state samples
