PhotoPhysics

The set-up of transient absorption, transient photovoltage and transient photocurrent measurement.

We are interested in the interaction of photons, excitons, phonons, and carriers with solid-state materials. Several spectral and temporal measurement techniques such as time resolved photoluminescence spectra, transient photocurrent/voltage, optical field simulation, single photo detections are developed in our lab to study these fascinating phenomena. These photophysical studies not only reveal how nature works but also provide useful information to develop novel device structure for more efficient solar energy harvesting or light emission!
