This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Emilio Gutierrez-Partida, who is product manager for materials science at PicoQuant. Before joining the company he did a PhD at the University of Potsdam, focusing on the recombination processes that occur in perovskite solar cells.
In our conversation we explore how time-resolved photoluminescence microscopy is revolutionizing the development and characterization of advanced materials. Emilio explains how temporal, spatial and spectral photoluminescence information can be combined to address challenges that researchers face as materials and experiments become increasingly complex.
In February, PicoQuant launched the Solira time-resolved photoluminescence microscope and we talk about how that instrument was developed and how it is being used.
This episode is sponsored by the German company PicoQuant. Founded in 1996, PicoQuant develops and manufactures photonic components and systems for time-resolved spectroscopy, microscopy, and single-photon counting, including time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) technology.
