16 Light Sources for Decay Acquisition: Frequency and Time Domain Measurements Pulsed Light Sources (frequency & pulse widths) Mode-Locked Lasers ND:YAG (76 MHz) (150 ps) Pumped Dye Lasers (4 MHz Cavity Dumped, ps) Ti:Sapphire lasers (80 MHz, 150 fs) Mode-locked Argon Ion lasers Directly Modulated Light Sources Diode Lasers (short pulses in ps range, & can be modulated by synthesizer) LEDs (directly modulated via synthesizer, 1 ns, 20 MHz) Flash Lamps Thyratron-gated nanosecond flash lamp (PTI), 25 KHz, 1.6 ns Coaxial nanosecond flashlamp (IBH), 10Hz-100kHz, 0.6 ns Modulation of CW Light Use of a Pockel s Cell Pulsed Emission 0 Polished on a side exit plane Pockel s Cell Polarizer Mirror Double Pass Pockel s Cell Polarizer Radio Frequency Input 90 CW Light Source The Pockel s Cell is an electro-optic device that uses the birefringment properties of calcite crystals to alter the beam path of polarized light. In applying power, the index of refraction is changed and the beam exiting the side emission port (0 polarized) is enhanced or attenuated. In applying RF the output becomes modulated. Time Correlated Single Photon Counting Timing Electronics or 2 nd PMT Pulsed Light Source Sample Compartment Filter or Monochromator Neutral density (reduce to one photon/pulse) Constant Fraction Discriminator Time-to-Amplitude Converter (TAC) Counts TAC Multichannel Analyzer Time PMT Photon Counting PMT Instrument Considerations Excitation pulse width Excitation pulse frequency Timing accuracy Detector response time (PMTs ns; MCP 0.15 to 0.03 ns) 16
17 Histograms built one photon count at a time Fluorescence Decay 2 Fluorescence Instrument Response Function Channels (50 ps) (1) The pulse width and instrument response times determine the time resolution. (2) The pulse frequency also influences the time window. An 80 MHz pulse frequency (Ti:Sapphire laser) would deliver a pulse every 12.5 ns and the pulses would interfere with photons arriving later than the 12.5 ns time. Polarization Correction There is still a polarization problem in the geometry of our excitation and collection (even without a monochromator)!! Will the corrections never end??? An intuitive argument: [6] [4] [1] = I 0 + I 90 [2] = I 0 + I 90 [3] = I 0 + I 90 [4] = I 0 + I 90 0 Polarized Excitation [1] [3] [5] = 2 x I 90 [6] = 2 x I 90 Total = 4 x I x I 90 [2] 0 [5] The total Intensity is proportional to: I x I Setting the excitation angle to 0 and the emission polarizer to 54.7 the proper weighting of the vectors is achieved.* *Spencer & Weber (1970) J.
