Official Information:

Ultrafast Systems is excited to announce its 1st annual Ultrafast Spectroscopy workshop. This course is intended to give the participants an in-depth introduction to the principles of time-resolved fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. The expected participants will be scientists who are currently using or intend to use ultrafast spectroscopy in their research. While most attendees will have some knowledge of time-resolved spectroscopy, other participants from different research areas will have an opportunity to get a powerful introduction to this exciting and growing field.

General Outline

Principles and Applications of Time-Resolved Spectroscopy. The workshop will be hosting 5 lectures discussing ultrafast techniques and instrumentation. They will include an overview of the latest advances in ultrafast light sources, a presentation of different time-resolved spectroscopic methods and their applications. The lectures will be followed by interactive instruments demonstrations, where the participants will have an opportunity to see real-time experiments with state-of-the-art spectrometers and learn more about their capabilities.
The subjects focus will be on:

· Ultrafast transient absorption measurements in UV-VIS-IR
· Ultrafast fluorescence lifetime measurements in UV-VIS-IR
