Separation of doping density and minority carrier lifetime in photoluminescence measurements on semiconductor materials

Methods are presented for separating the effects of background doping density and effective minority carrier lifetime on photoluminescence (PL) generated from semiconductor materials. In one embodiment the background doping density is measured by another technique, enabling PL measurements to be analysed in terms of effective minority carrier lifetime. In another embodiment the effective lifetime is measured by another technique, enabling PL measurements to be analysed in terms of background doping density. In yet another embodiment, the effect of background doping density is removed by calculating intensity ratios of two PL measurements obtained in different spectral regions, or generated by different excitation wavelengths. The methods are particularly useful for bulk samples such as bricks or ingots of silicon, where information can be obtained over a much wider range of bulk lifetime values than is possible with thin, surface-limited samples such as silicon wafers. The methods may find application in solar cell manufacturing for improving the manufacture of silicon ingots and bricks, or for providing a cutting guide for wafering.

The invention relates to a single reaction cup luminescent measurement chamber. The single reaction cup luminescent measurement chamber comprises: a measuring chamber, a top cover; a photon counter; a shutter structure, which is arranged between the photon counter and the measurement chamber and can close or open a photon via hole. Through the design of the shutter structure, before opening of the top cover, a driving part is rotated to drive the movement of a baffle plate, so that a through hole on the baffle plate and the photon via hole can be staggered, i.e. a lens of the photon counter can be shielded to prevent the incidence of external light into the photon counter, thus ensuring the service life and precision of the photon counter. After close of the top cover, the driving part is rotated to drive the baffle plate to move, so that the through hole on the baffle plate can coincide with the photon via hole, therefore the photon counter can collect the luminescent amount of a substance in a reaction cup.

Image sensing device and control method thereof

This invention allows to shoot an image using correct object distance information and light emitting amount when the main light emitting amount upon shooting an object image is calculated by making the pre-light emission after the auto-focusing process. To this end, when a predetermined button independent of a release button is operated, a focusing process is executed first. Then, photometry is made while inactivating a strobe, i.e., under available light, and an exposure value is determined based on an object distance. Then, pre-light emission is made, light reflected by the object in the pre-light emission is measured, and the photometry result under the available light is subtracted from that in the pre-light emission, so as to obtain a brightness value of object reflected light of only the pre-light emission. This brightness value is corrected to be equal to lower than an allowable maximum value depending on the object distance to compute a main light emitting amount. After that, when the release button is operated, the strobe is driven on the basis of the determined main light emitting amount, and shooting is made using the determined exposure value.

Mechanism to signal receptor-ligand interactions with luminescent quantum dots

Semiconductor quantum dots are becoming valuable analytical tools for use in biomedical applications. Indeed, their unique properties offer the opportunity to design luminescent probes for imaging and sensing with unprecedented performance. In this context, we have identified operating principles to transduce supramolecular association of complementary receptor-ligand binding pairs into enhancement or suppression in the luminescence of sensitive quantum dots. Thus, complementary receptor-ligand binding pairs can be identified with luminescence measurements relying on our design logic. In fact, we have demonstrated with a representative example that our protocol can be adapted to signal receptor-ligand binding.

Transient grating time resolved luminescence measurements

A transient grating (TG) is used as an optical gating element with sub-picosecond time resolution for luminescence measurements from a photo-detector array. The transient grating is formed in a gate medium by one or more pulsed gate beams. For photoluminescence measurements such as photoluminescence spectroscopy or imaging, a source is excited by a pulsed excitation beam, and the pulsed gate beams are synchronized to the pulsed excitation beam with an adjustable delay between the excitation of the source and the formation of the TG. Moreover, a source or its spectra can be imaged at two different regions of the photo-detector array at two different times spaced in time by a selected duration of time with sub-picosecond resolution over a range of a nanosecond or more. A beam from the source is deflected to the different regions by changing the frequency or geometry of the pulsed gate beams.

Systems and methods for detecting tissue ischemia and evaluating organ function using serum luminescence

Methods for the early sensing of tissue ischemia and / or infarctions within organs using the spectroscopic features of serum luminescence include (i) isolating serum from a blood sample, (ii) directing an excitation light at the serum, (iii) receiving an endogenous serum chromophore emission light from the excited serum, and (iv) determining a presence of an ischemic condition based on the intensity of the endogenous serum chromophore emission light. Methods of detecting organ dysfunction can include transmitting excitation light to luminal contents of a mammalian blood vessel comprising trace amounts of exogenous chromophores administered to the subject mammal via the circulatory system. Transdermal luminescence measurements from the trace amounts of exogenous chromophores can then be used to determine organ dysfunction.
