Confocal microscope for the study of nanophotonic light-emitting structures, setup with PhD students Rasmus Godiksen & Kaylee Hakkel, Eindhoven University of Technology
Our lab specializes in nanophotonic structures made of bulk and atomically thin semiconductors.
Our main techniques are:
- Confocal fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy, covering the ultraviolet, visible and near infrared.
- Polarization-resolved fluorescence and Raman spectroscopies, with linear or circular polarization.
- Fluorescence lifetime and photon correlation measurements.
- Hyperspectral imaging (fluorescence, Raman, reflection, transmission).
- Back focal plane imaging with polarization resolution for acquiring angular radiation patterns.
- Low-temperature optical measurements with an optical microscopy cryostat.
- Modelling of the optical response of nanophotonic structures with:
- 3D Maxwell’s equation solvers.
- Mie theory.
- Multipolar expansions.
- Other (semi-)analytical methods.
