SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on building an optical lab for characterizing semiconductors with luminescence in the 200 nm to 1500 nm range. Participants agree that achieving this requires at least two sets of instruments: one for the UV-VIS range and another for the VIS-NIR range. Essential tools include sources, calibration references, detectors, and amplifiers, with a light-tight enclosure recommended for optimal measurements. Techniques such as photoluminescence (PL), reflection spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy are highlighted as key methods for characterization.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of UV-VIS and VIS-NIR spectroscopic techniques
  • Familiarity with photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy
  • Knowledge of optical measurement tools such as detectors and amplifiers
  • Experience with light-tight enclosures for optical setups
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and applications of solid-state laser diodes in spectroscopy
  • Explore advanced techniques for micro-photoluminescence (µ-PL) measurements
  • Investigate calibration methods for optical measurement systems
  • Learn about the integration of multiple spectroscopic techniques in a single optical lab setup
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, optical engineers, and laboratory technicians involved in semiconductor characterization and optical measurement techniques.

Hello Everybody,

I am going to build an optical lab. to characterize semiconductors which have a luminescence over a wide range 200 nm - 1500 nm.

I hope to have a setup which flexible to carry more than spectroscopic technique and be able to study this wide spectral range.

I would appreciated your suggestions about it or about a general tips in the optical measurments labs.

Thank you in advance !

That's a large spectral range, and AFAIK will require at least two sets of instruments- some for the UV-VIS range and another set for VIS-NIR range. A 'standard' set of tools will get you started- sources, calibration references, detectors, amplifiers, etc. A light-tight enclosure is helpful.

What else do you want to do besides spectrosocopy?
 
Thank for your reply.

I agree, it might be not possible to have it in one setup.

In principle, I am seeking to do PL, reflections and Raman spectroscopy.

And in advance be able to adapted for µ-PL measurments.

Do you reccomed any other optical charaterization techniques?

Is there an idea if the solid-state laser diodes useful or what make it does not suit,
for these spectroscopic measurments?

Kind regards
