AGILE features a broadband spectral output from <400 nm to >2000 nm and pulse repetition rates from 10 kHz to 1 MHz, making it the ideal light source for most fluorescence lifetime applications. Using the TCSPC technique, fluorescence lifetimes from a few picoseconds to microseconds can be accurately resolved. It is also compatible with Multi-Channel Scaling (MCS) mode for lifetimes up to 10 μs. Thanks to the FLS1000 monochromator, AGILE provides continuous wavelength tuning across the visible and near-infrared spectrum with output power and temporal profile comparable to individual, single wavelength, picosecond pulsed diode lasers.

Its zero temporal dispersion optics, using double monochromators in subtractive mode, sets the standard for ultra-fast decay measurements. Lifetimes < 5 ps are achieved if using a fast laser (ps or fs) for excitation. The system is a fully automated solution, combining hardware and software in a single package for fundamental research and routine laboratory applications. Data acquisition modes range from fluorescence lifetime decay acquisitions and time-resolved spectra to automated time-resolved anisotropy measurements and automated temperature maps. The LifeSpec II requires at least one picosecond pulsed diode laser and pulsed LED, supercontinuum laser or Ti:Sapphire laser (with suitable pulse picker) for operation. Multiple lasers can be simultaneously coupled to the instrument. Options and Upgrades Lasers & LEDs The LifeSpec II spectrometer can be used with all modern high repetition rate pulsed sources, such as picosecond pulsed diode lasers and LEDs, supercontinuum “white” picosecond pulsed lasers, and femtosecond Ti:Sapphire lasers. The standard LifeSpec II comes with an adjustable receptor flange for Edinburgh Instruments picosecond pulsed diode lasers and UV-LEDs. Sample Holder Options Single Cuvette Holder The Lifespec II standard cuvette holder features water/coolant circulation for adjusting temperature, filter slots, and monitoring of the sample temperature by the operating software. Powders, Thin-Films and Solid Sample Holders A range of single position front-face sample holders are available for powders, thin-films and solids. These include linear staged holders, rotational holders and clamps. Temperature Control Options Bath/Refrigerator (-25°C to +150°C), EPR Dewar (77 K) enable temperature control of samples at low cost. A range of open and closed cycle (cryogen-free) cryostats are available for the Lifespec II, from 77 K (liquid nitrogen) or 4 K (liquid helium). Software control and mounting mechanics for the sample chamber are provided. TE cooled cuvette holders are offered with a selection of temperature ranges controlled by the software, from -50°C to +15 °C. Detector Upgrades The choice of detector is informed by the emission range and lifetime of the sample. Photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors are available with different spectral coverages and temporal responses. The following PMTs are available: - Standard PMTs up to 1010 nm – recommended for ns lifetimes - High speed PMTs up to 920 nm – recommended for 100s of ps lifetimes - MCP-PMT up to 850 nm – recommended for ps lifetimes - NIR-PMTs up to 1700 nm for NIR emitting samples with ns lifetime All PMTs are cooled and photon-counting for maximum sensitivity. Polarisation / Anisotropy The software-controlled polariser upgrade makes it possible to measure time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy in the Lifespec II. An excitation polariser may not be needed if the laser’s emission is naturally polarised, which is the case for Ti:Sapphire and picosecond-pulsed diode lasers. For precise fluorescence decays (energy relaxation), polarisers may be required to eliminate rotational artifacts that are superimposed on the fluorescence decay (“magic angle” measurements).

As the first of its kind on the market, the LP980 enables precise measurement of transient absorption (TA), laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), and phosphorescence up to 2.55 µm, with time scales ranging from nanoseconds to seconds. Its dual monochromator/spectrograph design allows for both spectral and kinetic acquisitions in one device, saving you both time and cost. Available in two models—LP980-K (kinetic PMT detector) and LP980-KS (kinetic PMT and spectral ICCD detector)—the LP980 can be customised with various pump lasers, probe sources, sample holders, and detectors to perfectly match your research needs. Our technical sales team is ready to help you configure the ideal setup for your experiments. With the intuitive L900® software package, data acquisition is straightforward, and comprehensive analysis tools like ΔOD calculations and multi-component decay fitting are included, eliminating the need for additional software. SOFTWARE The L900 software package streamlines every aspect of the LP980, from parameter optimisation and data acquisition to analysis and control of third-party accessories.

This can be problematic due to photo-degradation of the sample over time. This can be overcome by upgrading to spectral mode and fitting an ICCD onto the instrument, converting an LP980-K into an LP980-KS. The ICCD detector has a high dynamic range, 7 ns temporal resolution, and is controlled by the L900 software. Sample Holder Options Cross-Beam Geometry Standard sample holder of the LP980. Laser beam and probe beam intersect perpendicular at the sample position. Diffuse Reflectance Suitable for opaque and highly scattering powders, solids and suspensions. Quasi-Collinear Holder Maximises overlap between pump and probe increasing transient absorption signal. Film Sample Holder Films are mounted vertically at an angle from the pump and probe beams. Features control of X,Y position and rotational angle for maximum alignment flexibility. LIF Sample holder Fits standard cuvettes and is placed near the detection monochromator, for enhanced fluorescence collection compared to the standard TA holder. Temperature Control Options TE Cooled Sample Holder Transient absorption sample holder with TE control by the L900 software. Options from -50 o C to +150 o C are available. Liquid Nitrogen Dewar Low-cost option for cryogenic measurements of liquids and powders at 77 K. Software-Controlled Cryostats Liquid N 2 or He cryostats are mounted in the TA sample position and easily exchanged for other holders. They are fully controlled from the software enabling the creation of automated temperature maps. Spectral Range Upgrades Visible PMT Detectors The standard kinetic detector in LP980 covers the range of 200 nm – 980 nm. This can be replaced by a PMT980 (200 nm – 980 nm) or PMT1010 (200 nm – 1010 nm) detector for TA extending further into the NIR. NIR Detector Options A range of analogue InGaAs detectors are available to cover the range of 900 nm – 2550 nm (LIF-only detection between 2050 nm and 2550 nm). For weak laser-induced fluorescence signals in the NIR, a photon-counting NIT PMT and MCS electronics upgrade is recommended.
