Industrial end-users / Industrial OEM Film Thickness Measurement The Optical NanoGauge is a thickness measurement system based on spectral interferometry. It operates by purely optical, non-contact, non-destructive means. The product excels by its high precision and sensitivity as well as robust use of integrated multiple analysis methods. We can offer configuration for macro as well as micro measurements. These features make the product applicable to a very wide range of materials and applications. Laboratory / Research Compact and low cost mini-spectrometers Hamamatsu offers various types of mini-spectrometers designed for spectral detection in the ultraviolet to the near infrared region 200 nm 2550 nm. These include compact and low-cost models, highsensitivity models (containing a back-thinned CCD image sensor), and cooled models with low noise. Mini-spectrometers can be used in diverse applications including chemical analysis, colour measurement, environmental measurement as well as process control on production lines. Hamamatsu also provides OEM models designed for installation into portable measuring devices.

Research Quantaurus Series The Quantaurus series are compact instruments for measuring the properties of photoluminescent materials. The new Quantaurus-Tau measures fluorescence lifetimes as short as 100 ps and the new Quantaurus-QY measures quantum yields faster and easier than the traditional relative method. The combination of these two instruments enables a comprehensive characterization of light emitting materials such as fluorescent probes, LED phosphors, organic metal complexes, OLED materials and quantum dots. The Quantaurus series can be used to analyse materials in thin film, powder, solid or liquid form. Liquid samples can be cooled down to -196 C. The new Quantaurus-QY, based on the established technology of our C9920-02 system, is a compact instrument for measuring the photoluminescence quantum yield of light emitting materials. It performs absolute measurements and does not require known reference standards, as typically needed for the traditional relative method. Operation is simple and intuitive and the system is fully software controlled. A motorized mono-chromator allows for easy choice of excitation wavelengths. The ultrasensitive CCD sensor records the full emission spectrum. The dedicated software offers various analysis functions including absolute quantum yield measurements, excitation wavelength dependence, photo-luminescence spectra, photoluminescence excitation spectra, and calculation of colour co-ordinates. The Quantaurus-QY comes in two versions featuring different wavelength ranges. The standard model (C11347-11) covers wavelengths from 300 nm to 950 nm and the NIR model (C11347-12) covers the region from 400 nm to 1100 nm. The Quantaurus-Tau is a compact system for routine measurements of fluorescence lifetimes from sub-nanoseconds to milliseconds with single-photon-counting sensitivity. Seven pulsed LEDs allow for sample excitation from 280 nm to 630 nm. The two available models cover a spectral range from 300 nm to 800 nm (C11367-11) and from 380 nm to 1030 nm (C11367-12). As the whole system is software controlled, operation is simple and intuitive. The dedicated software includes a variety of measurement and analysis functions and allows fitting of up to 5 exponentials. Furthermore, Quantaurus-Tau features optional add-ons for performing phosphorescence measurements.
Research Streak Systems Streak technology has been established for many years as a high-end method for time-resolved spectroscopy. Streak-based systems offer two major benefits: the unsurpassed temporal resolution, reaching into the sub-ps domain, and the "2-dimensionality" of the method, yielding superior detection efficiency. Ultra-Fast Lifetime Spectrofluorometers Several commercial systems are available dedicated for fluorescence emission measurements, allowing measurements from the sub-ps to the ms domains. Just like in conventional photon-counting, the streak method also records single photons, giving excellent measurement statistics and large dynamic range, which is important for good data analysis. Unlike other methods, however, a streak system can count photons even when there are many photons in a single fluorescence pulse and records all wavelengths simultaneously. Recent systems have been even further improved in terms of repetition rates and sensitivity, complying with even the most demanding applications. Many different models cover a wide spectral range from the to the NIR (115 to 1650 nm). Picosecond X-ray Induced Fluorescence System The PicoXspeC system is a streak-based fluorescence spectroscopy system with sample excitation in the X-ray regime, which is made possible by employing a special X-ray source emitting short X-ray pulses of only a few tens of picoseconds duration. This allows the study of materials used for scintillation and similar applications without using radioactive substances for excitation. The system is very compact and fits easily on a table top.
