X-ray excited visible luminescence spectroscopy of organic materials using a portable optical spectrometer.
The use of a portable video telescope, mounted externally to a beamline endstation, to obtain synchrotron-radiation-excited visible luminescence, is described. Real-time video monitoring permits simple and quick alignment, and allows a visual record of the luminescence experiment. The telescope is fibre-optic-coupled to an optical spectrometer. Examples are given of X-ray excited optical spectroscopy from organic materials for light-emitting-diode applications.
