[0003] Photoluminescence (PL) array detection, also known as area array photoluminescence detection, is a technique that uses the principle of photoluminescence to detect and analyze surface-shaped objects or areas of objects. When electrons in a substance absorb photon energy, they transition from the ground state to an excited state. When the electrons return from the excited state to the ground state, they release excess energy in the form of light, producing photoluminescence. PL array detection uses a laser of a specific wavelength as the excitation source to illuminate the surface of the object being detected, causing it to emit photoluminescence. The emitted signals are then collected by a highly sensitive, high-resolution area array camera or detector and converted into electrical or digital signals. Finally, computer software processes and analyzes these signals to obtain relevant information about the detected object.
