Instrumentation for a 2D White-Light Spectrometer to study energy transfer in nanostructured carbon thin films

Abstract

This grant will enable the construction an optimized multi-dimensional spectrometer that covers an unprecedented frequency range exploiting the discovery that white-light can be used as both the pump and probe pulses in the 2D pulse sequence, thereby generating 2D spectra that correlate kinetics between initial to final states. The white-light bandwidth spans the entire visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum, from 500 to 1400 nm simultaneously, which is a much larger frequency range than any previously measured 2D spectrum. This method can be applied to energy transfer in carbon nanotubes, semiconducting quantum dots and small molecule absorbers.
