Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of time-resolved spectroscopy, and particularly relates to a fitting method and device for transient absorption spectroscopy dynamics. BACKGROUND

[0002] The need for developing new optoelectronic materials requires in-depth research on the band structure of the material, carrier relaxation dynamics, interface carrier transfer and other processes. Transient absorption spectroscopy technology is an important tool for studying the above processes, especially non-radiative processes. Transient absorption spectroscopy uses a pump light to generate excited carriers in the sample to be measured, and then irradiates the sample with a probe light, and the relaxation dynamics of the excited carriers is characterized by the change in the absorption spectrum of the probe light. Since the pump light and the probe light both have a certain pulse width, they will continue to act on the sample, causing the rising edge of the signal or the falling edge of the rapid relaxation to have a measurement system error. The essence of this system error is the convolution of the pump light, the probe light and the intrinsic dynamics in the time domain. The above system error makes it impossible to accurately characterize the carrier dynamics process of the material with a short carrier relaxation time. In addition, under the existing circumstances, the time resolution of the transient absorption spectroscopy is mainly limited by the pulse width of the pump light and the probe light. In order to achieve high time resolution, the pulse width of the pump light and the probe light in the time domain usually needs to be compressed, which increases the overall equipment cost. SUMMARY
