Recently, lifetime imaging has become a subject of intensive research. Lifetime is an important parameter to understand the dynamics of targeted objects and its applications ranges from fluorescence decay of biological objects to relaxation of semiconductor materials and devices.
Many methods, such as time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and phase detection in frequency domain, were developed to measure the characteristic lifetime. These methods are now rather matured and widely applied in various studies. However, these methods are only effective for lifetime longer than 100 picoseconds due to the bandwidth limitation of high-speed electronics. For even faster temporal resolution, novel techniques that do not rely on high-speed electronics will be required. In this study, we are integrating an autocorrelator with a galvo-based laser scanning microscope to enable imaging with very high temporal resolution. The principle and technique of pump-probe is implemented through the autocorrelator. In this way, imaging based pump-probe measurements can be realized. Specifically, we have applied the experimental setup so developed in measuring fluorescent dyes and semiconductor devices.
