What is PL?
PL (Photoluminescence): When a material absorbs a photon, the electron transitions to an excited state and then returns to a lower energy state, emitting the energy in the form of light.
What is PLQY?
PLQY (Photoluminescence Quantum Yield): This is calculated as the number of photons emitted divided by the number of photons absorbed. PLQY is an important index for evaluating luminescent materials. In addition to being a basic parameter that can be used for the primary classification of materials, it is also an important analytical method for luminescent systems and their carrier dynamics.
How LQ-100X-PL measure PLQY?
- Measure the background signals.
- Measure the Sample.
- Calculate the PLQY of the sample:

PL and PLQY are important tools for material characterization. Currently, the challenges encountered in material testing include:
ć(1) Inability to test within the glove box.
ć(2) In situ time spectral analysis is not feasible.
ć(3) Difficulty in expanding the measurement range to the infrared band.
The LQ-100X-PL has provided solutions to these three major pain points.
New Feature! 10-Sun Intensity PLQY System

The LQ-100X-PL features a high-intensity laser system capable of achieving over 10 suns equivalent illumination with a 3mm spot. This capability makes it exceptionally well-suited for Photoluminescence Quantum Yield (PLQY) and Quasi-Fermi Level Splitting (QFLS) measurements. In QFLS studies, using 10-sun excitation to measure PLQY is crucial. The high excitation intensity effectively increases carrier density, bringing the materialās excited state closer to real-world operating conditions. This leads to more accurate PLQY data, enabling a more precise evaluation of the solar cellās efficiency potential. Furthermore, high-intensity excitation suppresses non-radiative recombination processes, enhancing the influence of radiative recombination pathways and reducing discrepancies in PLQY measurements. The stronger PL signal under strong excitation also contributes to lower measurement errors and improved data accuracy. In QFLS research, 10-sun excitation is necessary for measuring PLQY primarily because the high excitation intensity elevates carrier concentration, simulating conditions similar to actual operation. The reasons for this include:
- Suppression of Non-Radiative Recombination:Ā At low excitation intensities, non-radiative recombination pathways may dominate carrier recombination, leading to lower PLQY values. As excitation intensity increases, the influence of radiative recombination pathways strengthens, and the proportion of non-radiative recombination decreases, providing a more accurate reflection of the materialās performance under high illumination.
- Excited State Stability:Ā 10-sun excitation intensity allows carrier concentration to reach a level where the excited state and carrier dynamics within the material closely resemble those under actual operating conditions. This provides more accurate PLQY data, which is crucial for estimating the potential efficiency of solar cells.
- Experimental Technical Requirements:Ā Under high excitation, the stronger PL signal reduces measurement errors caused by factors like background noise, thereby improving data accuracy.
Ā
In summary, using 10-sun excitation for PLQY measurements ensures that the measurement conditions simulate real-world operating environments, leading to more accurate material characterization data.
Features
LQ-100X-PL has the following advantages to meet the challenges of material characterization:
- LQ-100X-PL is NIST traceable and with a compact design. The size is 502.4mm(L) x 322.5mm(W) x 352mm(H), equipped a 4-inch outer diameter PTFE integrating sphere. LQ-100X-PL makes the glovebox integration possible.
- Using advanced instrument control programs, in situ time PL spectral analysis can be performed, producing 2D and 3D graphs simultaneously. This will greatly help users complete material characterization more quickly.
- The outstanding optical design expand the spectrum wavelength. It covers the wavelength range from can be extened to 1700nm. LQ-100X-PL is compatible with powder, solution and thin film samples.
Proof
PL Spectrum

LQ-100X-PL system can perform PL and PLQY tests on a variety of materials. The procedure is as follows:
- Measure the background signal, as shown in the blue curve, and calculate the total number of incident excitation photons.
- Measure the sample spectrum, as shown in the green curve, and calculate the total number of emitted photons.
- Calculate the rate of photons absorbed by the sample and the total number of absorbed photons from step1 &2.
- PLQY can be calculated by dividing the number of step 1 & 3.
Emission spectrum

LQ-100X-PL software can perform a variety of analyses for PL emission spectra and help users to quantitatively
characterize the properties of materials:
- Luminous CIE color coordinates
- CIE-xyz
- CIE-XYZ
- CIE-uv
- Color temperature
- Color Purity
In situ time-resolved PL spectrum

In addition to the PLQY measurement, the LQ-100X-PL can also continuously measure the PL spectrum over time and
plot it into a 2D or 3D diagram ā called an in-situ time-resolved PL spectrum.
As shown in the figure, the PL
spectrum of the perovskite changes over time, and the wavelength half-width (FWHM) increases accordingly. The
phenomenon of red shift of the central wavelength (Peak Lambda) also occurs. Analysis of in-situ time-resolved
PL spectra provides direct evidence for the stability or metastable properties of novel materials such as
perovskites. It is the best tool for material characterization.
