Abstract: Aspects of a tandem dispersive range monochromator are described herein. In one embodiment, the monochromator includes a light source that provides broadband light, a tandem diffraction grating including a first diffraction grating and a second diffraction grating, a grating drive motor that rotates the tandem diffraction grating to provide dispersed wavelengths of light, a detector that detects a portion of the dispersed wavelengths of light, and processing circuitry that controls a grating drive motor to regulate an angular velocity of the tandem grating based on an angular orientation of the tandem diffraction grating. By using a tandem diffraction grating having different dispersive surfaces, measurements of relatively high precision and quality may be taken throughout a wider spectral range. In another aspect, the processing circuitry controls a sample drive motor to vary an angle of incidence of the dispersed wavelengths of light onto a sample for evaluation.

Abstract: Photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) testing of quantum dots is described. In one embodiment, a method involves heating a sample including quantum dots and illuminating the sample with a light source. The method involves measuring spectra of luminescence from the illuminated quantum dots of the sample at each of a plurality of temperatures. The method involves measuring each of the plurality of temperatures with a temperature sensor. The PLQY at each of the plurality of temperatures is computed based on the measured spectra. The method further involves computing a relationship between QD emission wavelength of the measured spectra and the plurality of temperatures measured with the temperature sensor. The relationship is used to determine the QD temperature corresponding to each of the PLQY computations. In one embodiment, an integrating sphere moves on a gantry over the samples.
