Improvements On Instrumentation To Explore The Multidimensionality Of Luminescence Spectroscopy, Anthony Moore Jan 2015

Improvements On Instrumentation To Explore The Multidimensionality Of Luminescence Spectroscopy, Anthony Moore

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation presents experimental and instrumentation developments that take full advantage of the multidimensional nature of line narrowing spectroscopy at liquid nitrogen (77 K) and liquid helium (4.2 K) temperatures. The inconvenience of sample freezing procedures is eliminated with the aid of cryogenic fiber optic probes. Rapid collection of multidimensional data formats such as wavelength time matrices, excitation emission matrices, time-resolved excitation emission matrices and time resolved excitation emission cubes is made possible with the combination of a pulsed tunable dye laser, a spectrograph and an intensifier-charged coupled device. These data formats provide unique opportunities for processing vibrational luminescence data …
