Photon etc.’s IMA EL™ hyperspectral microscope is specifically designed for electroluminescence characterization of a wide variety of materials. The instrument is suitable for the analysis of semiconductors and photovoltaic cells.
Key Features
The main features of the IMA EL™ are:
- High spatial and spectral resolution
- Non-destructive analysis
- Fast global mapping (non scanning)
- Complete system with microscope, source, camera, filter, and software
- Customization available
Applications
The main applications of the IMA EL™ are:
-
Thin films – Magneto-optical effects are suitable for providing in-situ measurements of the magnetization characteristics of thin-films.
-
Photovoltaic – A novel characterization technique based on hyperspectral imaging recording spectrally resolved images enables the cartography of photoluminescence and electroluminescence.
-
Defects on SiC – ideal for studying electroluminescent materials; can be utilized to obtain spatial and spectral information of the defects concurrently.
