Edinburgh FLS980 spectrometer: Upconversion luminescence and µs lifetimes with multi-channel scaling
Channel: Emory Chan, Molecular Foundry
Date: 2021-05-29

This is tutorial will show viewers how to use the Edinburgh FLS980 spectrometer to measure: (1) steady state upconversion luminescence spectra excited by a NIR laser, and (2) microsecond decay curves measured in multi-channel scaling mode (MSC). This video is specific for the configuration of the FLS980 instrument in the Inorganic Nanostructures Facility at the Molecular Foundry.  See below for links to specific topics in this video and tutorials of other capabilities of the Edinburgh FLS980.
