Measurements of luminescence decay kinetics using an “Agat” streak-camera in a boxcar mode

Conclusion The specialized measuring setup described in the paper makes it possible to measure correctly and with reasonably high accuracy the luminescence decay kinetics of dyes within the time range from 40 psec to 5 nsec upon excitation in the visible range and at 1.064 μm. The system is highly flexible, having at the same time reasonably large data storage memory, and is completely automated. Such a system, undoubtedly, will be helpful for researchers working in the field of physics of laser media and dyes—passive modulators for femtosecond laser systems. The authors are grateful to M. V. Bondar for fruitful discussions and for help with the experiments. Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 62, No. 1, pp. 128–134, January–February, 1995.
