Z. Stryla et al., DEVICE FOR LUMINESCENCE LIFETIME MEASUREMENTS OF EUROPIUM(III) ION BASED ON A NITROGEN-DYE LASER SYSTEM, Optica Applicata, 23(2-3), 1993, pp. 163-170
An experimental system for measurement of luminescence lifetimes of la
nthanide ions has been developed. It consists of a nitrogen laser pump
ed dye laser as an excitation source and two different kinds of regist
ration devices based on boxcar integrator and transient recorder. Accu
racies of both registration methods have been compared using the stati
stics of the measured data. The operation of the system in milli- and
microsecond ranges has been verified using Eu(III) ions in H2O and D2O
solutions.
