Abstract

A method for obtaining time and frequency resolved spectra with high spectral and temporal resolution over a broad spectral range is presented. Step – scan Fourier transform spectroscopy permits spectral coverage from UV to mid IR with sub nanosecond resolution making it possible to track emission from multiple manifolds with full temporal resolution in a single experiment. Data for several rare-earth doped crystalline materials exhibiting multiple emission bands and including evidence of energy transfer is shown.
