By recording the changes in the spectrum over time, we can understand the events and processes that occur in the instantaneous process, so as to obtain information that cannot be obtained in the steady-state spectrum (integrated spectrum). The measurement of the carrier radiation lifetime is used to obtain relevant information such as the lifetime of the excited state, transition probability, collision cross section, reaction rate and energy transfer.

 

Remark：
The Chinese government has announced new limits on the exportation of Gallium materials (such as GaAs, GaN, Ga2O3, GaP, InGaAs, and GaSb) and Germanium materials used to make semiconductor chips. Starting from August 1, 2023, exporting these materials is only allowed if we obtains a license from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. Hope for your understanding and cooperation!
