Laboratory

Our fluorescence microscopy lab is equipped with:

  • Three fluorescence microscopy setups.
  • Lasers: Ar-ion lasers, an HeCd ion laser, several blue diode lasers, CO2 laser, a tunable-cavity dye laser, a picosecond violet diode laser, and a frequency doubled Ti:sapphire picosecond pulsed laser, and others.
  • Spectrometers: UV-Vis-NIR spectrometers from 200 - 1700 nm, imaging spectrometeters, grating turret monochromators, spectroscopic imaging.
  • Fluorescence cryostat.
  • Fluorescence lifetime imaging (with an iCCD) and fluorescence dynamics (PMTs).
  • Photon counting PMTs for photo- and electroluminescence lifetimes (resolution 100 ps)
  • Syringe pumps for microfluidic sensor work.
  • Furnaces and annealers.
  • 3-source, 6-pocket thin film evaporator system.
  • Computers and workstations. Mathematica is our preferred coding language that all our students learn.

We also manage the Department of Physics transmission electron microscopy lab. Additionally, our students have access to the University's Nanofabrication facility, as well as several other facilities on campus.
