Our interdisciplinary research lab features two branches: the Optical Lab and the Microwave/Electronics/Chemistry Lab. Housing two optical tables and key equipment including a Montana Instruments CryoAdvance with Magneto-Optic Module, a Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E, and a Renishaw inVia Raman Microscope, our lab is well-equipped. We possess an array of light sources, spectrometers, and detectors, supplemented with portable equipment, materials, and supplies. Key inventory encompasses Mounted Glan-Thompson Calcite Polarizers, Super Apochromatic Microscope Objectives, Si Avalanche Photodetectors, and Nanosecond Pulsed Laser Diode Systems, among others. Additional resources include Digital Power & Energy Consoles, various Photodiode Power Sensors, and a multitude of essential kits and filters. Our comprehensive equipment roster ensures cutting-edge research across disciplines.
Renishaw InVia confocal Raman microscope features an automated stage and two laser options (514 nm and 633 nm). With a cm-1 range from 100-4000, it offers versatility for acquiring spectra, depth focus scans, mappings, and serial spectra. Equipped with edge and eclipse filters, it supports 5x, 20x, and 50x objectives. Additionally, it provides access to four distinct databases for spectra identification.
