Single photon spectroscopy combined with scanning confocal microscopy
Abstract
We present a new instrument; a quantum spectrometer able to time tag every detected photon making up a spectrum. The spectrometer can be coupled to a scanning confocal microscope to acquire spectra, lifetimes, photon correlations and cross-correlations in one single measurement. Our instrument offers higher detection efficiency and far lower noise levels than was previously available in the infrared.
