Facility & Instruments

• Adaptable & portable set-ups in the spectral range 200 -2600 nm for:

Reflectance at normal incidence, diffuse and angle resolved

Transmittance & absorbance

• Steady state photoluminescence with excitation at 405 nm, 448 nm, 532 nm, 660 nm for both liquid and solid state samples.

The set-ups also allows assessing emission anisotropy and profile with resolution lower than 0.5 deg.
