Imaging of Single Photon Emitter Fluorescence and Photon Antibunching
نویسنده
چکیده
In this experiment we demonstrate the Confocal Microscope fluorescence imaging of various single photon emitters like carbon nanotube, quantum dots and color centre in nano-diamonds. We also measure their spectrum to characterize them. Finally we use the Hanbury Brown and Twiss Setup to test if the photons emitted from our source has antibunching properties.

Confocal Microscope Imaging of Single emitter fluorescence and Observing Photon Antibunching Using Hanbury Brown and Twiss setup Lab
In this experiment, we study the antibunching phenomenon in the photons produced by single emitter quantum dots using a Hanbury Brown-Twiss setup. We also measure the single emitter fluorescence lifetime using DiI dye molecules.
متن کاملLaboratory 3: Confocal Microscopy Imaging of Single Emitter Fluorescence and Hanbury Brown, and Twiss Setup for Photon Antibunching
The purpose of this experiment was to study single photon sources and confirm that they exhibit photon antibunching. The quantum dot fluorescence was imaged using an EM-CCD camera in conjunction with the confocal microscope. CdSeTe quantum dots, which emit at 790nm when excited with a 633nm He-Ne laser, were studied. The quantum dot fluorescence was enhanced using a photonic band gap material a...
متن کاملStrong antenna-enhanced fluorescence of a single light-harvesting complex shows photon antibunching
The nature of the highly efficient energy transfer in photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes is a subject of intense research. Unfortunately, the low fluorescence efficiency and limited photostability hampers the study of individual light-harvesting complexes at ambient conditions. Here we demonstrate an over 500-fold fluorescence enhancement of light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2) at the single...
متن کاملLaboratory 3-4: Confocal Microscope Imaging of Single-Emitter Fluorescence and Photon Antibunching Detection Using a Hanbury Brown & Twiss Setup
This lab had two objectives. First, we wished to image a variety of fluorescing single photon sources using a confocal microscopy setup. Second, we wished to detect photon antibunching using a Hanbury Brown & Twiss setup in at least one of the samples. We were able to successfully image samples of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes, Nanodiamonds, Gold Nanoparticles, and Colloidal CdSe Quantum Dots,...
متن کاملBiexciton quantum yield of single semiconductor nanocrystals from photon statistics.
Biexciton properties strongly affect the usability of a light emitter in quantum photon sources and lasers but are difficult to measure for single fluorophores at room temperature due to luminescence intermittency and bleaching at the high excitation fluences usually required. Here, we observe the biexciton (BX) to exciton (X) to ground photoluminescence cascade of single colloidal semiconducto...
