Topic: Photoluminescence


  
  Photoluminescence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Photoluminescence is a process in which a chemical compound absorbs a photon with a wavelength in the range of visible electromagnetic radiation, thus transitioning to a higher electronic energy state, and then radiates a photon back out, returning to a lower energy state.
The simplest photoluminescent processes are resonant radiations, in which a photon of a particular wavelength is absorbed and an equivalent photon is immediately emitted.
An even more specialized form of photoluminescence is phosphorescence, in which the energy from absorbed photons undergoes intersystem crossing into a state of higher spin multiplicity (see term symbol), usually a triplet state.

 NREL: Measurements and Characterization - Photoluminescence Spectroscopy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Photoluminescence spectroscopy is a contactless, nondestructive method of probing the electronic structure of materials.
In the case of photo-excitation, this luminescence is called "photoluminescence." The intensity and spectral content of this photoluminescence is a direct measure of various important material properties.
The amount of photoluminescence and its dependence on the level of photo-excitation and temperature are directly related to the dominant recombination process.

"Photoluminescence" is a scientific term that describes the ability of certain minerals to absorb light (especially ultra-violet light) and then re-emit that light in a controlled way over time.
While modern photoluminescent products share the same concept as “glow in the dark” products that have been around for decades, they expand the useful visible "afterglow" period from a few minutes to many hours.
The reason photoluminescent materials will grow from a tiny niche market to a multi-billion dollar industry over the next few years is simple — PL products are safe, powerful, virtually indestructible and require no additional wiring, electrical power or energy beyond the standard existing lighting in buildings.

Photoluminescence in simple terms is a reverse process of absorption.
Photoluminescence occurs when an excited electron in an excited state returns to the initial state by emission of a photon whose energy gives the difference between the excited state and the initial state energies.
In a direct intrinsic semiconductor, the photoluminescence energy is the optical gap.

 OhioLINK ETD: Vijh, Uma
We present the discovery of a new band of dust PL, blue luminescence (BL) with lambda_{peak} ~ 370 nm in the proto-planetary nebula known as the Red Rectangle (RR).
The carrier of the dust-associated photoluminescence process causing the extended red emission (ERE), known now for over twenty five years, remains unidentified.
We constrain the character of the ERE carrier by determining the wavelengths of the radiation that initiates the ERE -- lambda < 118 nm.

They will measure and compare the photoluminescence spectrum of a liquid solution of a semiconducting polymer and the photoluminescence spectrum of a solid film of the same polymer.
The unique feature of this experiment is the use of a semiconducting polymer that is soluble in the semiconducting state.
In comparison to materials with infra-red bandgaps, use of a di-alkoxy-PPV polymer with a visible electronic bandgap and a visible photoluminescence spectrum make it easier for the students to connect optical concepts to data recorded in the form of a spectrum.
