The lifetime of a spectral event is 1x10-8 s
When an excited state atom is hit with another high energy atom
energy is transferred which changes the energy of the
excited state and, hence, the energy of the photon emitted.
This results in linewidth broadening.
The broadening is Lorentzian in shape.

1. Jaquinot or through-put
little photon loss; little loss of source intensity
2. Large number of wavelengths allows for ensemble averaging

PHOTONS AS PARTICLES
The photoelectric effect:
The experiment:
1. Current, I, flows when Ekinetic > Erepulsive
2. E repulsive is proportional to the applied voltage, V
3. Therefore the photocurrent, I, is proportional to the applied voltage
4. Define Vo as the voltage at which the photocurrent goes to zero = measure of
the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons
5. Vary the frequency of the photons, measure Vo, = Ekinetic,max
KE h

 
Energy of

electron
Frequency of impinging photon
(related to photon energy)
Work function=minimum energy binding an
Electron in the metal

KE h

 
To convert photons to electrons that we can measure with an electrical circuit use
A metal foil with a low work function (binding energy of electrons)

DETECTORS
Ideal Properties
1. High sensitivity
2. Large S/N
3. Constant parameters with wavelength
S kP k
electrical signal radiant power d
 
Where k is some large constant
kd is the dark current
Classes of Detectors
Name comment
Photoemissive single photon events
Photoconductive “ (UV, Vis, near IR)
Heat average photon flux
Want low dark current

1. Capture all simultaneously
= multiplex advantage
2. Generally less sensitive
Rock to
Get different
wavelengths
Very sensitive detector

Sensitivity of photoemissive
Surface is variable
Ga/As is a good one
As it is more or less consistent
Over the full spectral range

Diode array detectors
-Great in getting
-A spectra all at once!
Background current
(Noise) comes from?
One major problem
-Not very sensitive
-So must be used
-With methods in
-Which there is a large
-signal

Photodiodes
Photomultiplier tube
The AA experiment

Charge-Coupled Device (CCD detectors)
1. Are miniature – therefore do not need to “slide” the image across
a single detector (can be used in arrays to get a
Fellget advantage)
2. Are nearly as sensitive as a photomultiplier tube
+V
3. Apply greater voltage
4. Move charge to “gate”
And Count,
5. move next “bin” of
charge and keep on counting
6. Difference is charge in
One “bin”
1. Set device to accumulate
charge for some period of
time. (increase sensitivity)
2. Charge accumulated near
electrode
Requires special cooling, Why?
The fluorescence
experiment

Since polarizability of the electrons in the material also controls the dielectric
