The lab is devoted to the characterization of ligth-matter interaction on a very short time-scale, both in emission and absorption.

The lab is equipped for time-resolved characterization of photo-physic properties in absorption and emission, in the UV-VIS-NIR spectral range and in the femtosecond-nanosecond domain.

The services provided are: Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) by Streak Camera and Pump-Probe Transient Absorption in multi-colour configuration.

These techniques find application in several fields, such as materials characterization, pharmacology and biomedicine.

The lab expertise is mainly focused on photonics and optoelectronics innovative materials, but specifically tailored experiments can be adressed on different materials on demand.
