Streak Camera

A streak camera for cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis is a high-performance detector designed to capture ultra-fast changes in light emission over time.

It is particularly suited for studying transient processes and carrier dynamics in materials, as it provides detailed insights into recombination rates, lifetimes, and other time-resolved properties of the material under investigation. With rise times measured below 20 picoseconds, it offers the best full-system resolution available, making it ideal for applications requiring precise temporal analysis.

Time-resolved CL analysis of diffusion of excitons in a strained ZnO micro belt: time resolved spectra from 3 different excitation zones along the diameter of the belt. These measurements allowed to set up and verify a strain induced diffusion model (ACS Nano, 8(4), 3412-3420, 2014).

Key applications include:

  • Material Characterization: The streak camera enables in-depth analysis of carrier recombination and defect emissions in semiconductors, helping optimize materials for applications in LEDs and solar cells.
  • Nanophotonics: It supports the study of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, which is essential for designing devices with enhanced light confinement and emission efficiency.
  • Photonic Device Development: By assessing optical gain, decay times, and light propagation, the streak camera aids in the advancement of photonic devices, including lasers and waveguides.
