Application & Methods Solira Time-Resolved Photoluminescence Microscope DESCRIPTION MATCHING APPLICATIONS & METHODS DETAILS AND EXAMPLES KEY BENEFITS Designed for Advanced Material Characterization Unmatched Flexibility Across Materials and Methods Flexible Excitation for Diverse Material Systems Different materials require optimized excitation conditions to reveal relevant photophysical processes. Solira supports flexible excitation configurations with up to 8 laser channels covering wavelengths from 355 nm to 1064 nm, enabling tailored measurements across semiconductors, nanomaterials, optoelectronic devices, and wavelength-dependent photoluminescence workflows. Sensitive Detection for Weak Signals Understanding advanced materials requires reliable access to weak emission signals and subtle photophysical processes. Solira supports flexible detector configurations with up to 12 detection channels and spectral sensitivity from 400 nm to 1550 nm, enabling robust characterization of low quantum yield materials, single emitters, and demanding experimental conditions. Picosecond Timing for Fast Dynamics PicoQuant’s proven TCSPC and time-tagging electronics provide picosecond timing precision for accurate time-resolved measurement and analysis. This enables detailed investigation of carrier dynamics, recombination pathways, and ultrafast photophysical processes across advanced material systems. Software Designed for Flexible and Reproducible Workflows Solira’s dedicated software environment supports flexible data acquisition, automation, and advanced analysis across different measurement modes. Context-based workflows enable streamlined acquisition and evaluation for steady-state PL, TRPL imaging, carrier diffusion imaging, anisotropy imaging, time-trace analysis, and g(2) experiments within a unified interface. Real-time visualization and programmable workflows ensure efficient handling of complex experiments while maintaining reproducibility. From Flexible Measurements to Real-World Insight Laser patterning in perovskite solar mini modules can strongly influence local charge carrier dynamics and photoluminescence behavior. In a recent application study, Solira combined spatial localization, spectral characterization, and time-resolved photoluminescence imaging to investigate structured regions with high precision. The results revealed measurable photoluminescence within laser-patterned areas, demonstrating that local material properties are modified rather than fully removed during processing. This workflow highlights how Solira enables spatially resolved insight into semiconductor devices by linking photophysical changes directly to material structure and device performance.
