Photoluminescence is typically measured using a Spectrometer. The sample is excited with a light source, such as a laser or a lamp, and the emitted light is collected and analyzed. The key components of a photoluminescence setup include:
Excitation Source: Provides the photons to excite the sample. Monochromator: Used to select specific wavelengths of light for excitation or to analyze the emitted light. Detector: Measures the intensity of the emitted light, typically using photomultiplier tubes or charge-coupled devices (CCDs).
