Applications and luminescence-based imaging with SWIR cameras
Examples of how deeply cooled scientific SWIR InGaAs cameras are being used as enabling technologies for luminescence-based imaging of nanotubes.
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) consist of a monolayer of graphene rolled into a cylinder with nanometer diameters and high aspect ratio. SWNTs have attracted a lot of interest in recent years because of their promising applications in a variety of fields, such as medical science or in-vivo bio- imaging, photonics and (opto)electronics.
An important characteristic of SWNTs in all these applications is their intrinsic luminescence in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength range (1000 – 1600 nm) [LEF]. In nanotube research, imaging methods based on the intrinsic luminescence are commonly used.
To get an overview of the use and advantages of (single-walled) carbon nanotubes in a variety of applications and some examples of how deeply cooled scientific SWIR InGaAs cameras are being used as enabling technologies for luminescence-based imaging of nanotubes, follow the link to read the full article.
