Photoluminescence equipment for nanophotonic systems

这种最先进的光致发光系统将允许申请人研究纳米级组件的光学性质，例如纳米线、量子点、硅纳米结构、碳纳米管和周期性金属介电纳米结构。 这些结构被研究作为各种电子，光子和生物应用中的构建块。这些应用的进一步发展将需要对单个纳米结构的光学特性进行详细分析，这只有在所要求的基础设施下才有可能。 拟议的系统将允许成像和高灵敏度收集的纳米结构的光致发光在低温下，具有高的空间和光谱分辨率。

This state-of-the-art photoluminescence system will allow the applicants to study the optical properties of nanoscale components such as nanowires, quantum dots, silicon nanostructures, carbon nanotubes, and periodic metallo-dielectric nanostructures.  These structures are being studied as building blocks in a variety of electronic, photonic, and biological applications. Further advancement of these applications will require detailed analysis of the optical properties of individual nanostructures, which is only possible with the requested infrastructure.  The proposed  system will allow imaging and highly sensitive collection of photoluminescence from nanostructures at low temperatures and with high spatial and spectral resolution.
