Cathodoluminescence collection
Collect electron-beam-induced optical emission for spectral or image-correlated analysis.
Emission spectroscopy
Cathodoluminescence / Photoluminescence
Collect electron- or laser-stimulated emission and compare optical response with SEM/FIB images.
Emission overview
Collect optical emission with electron microscopy context.
Cathodoluminescence collects light emitted under electron-beam stimulation. Photoluminescence collects light emitted after optical excitation. Waviks CL/PL systems connect those emission paths with SEM/FIB imaging where the microscope and detector path support the measurement.

Capabilities
Optical emission collection aligned with electron microscopy context.
Final configuration depends on microscope geometry, optical access, detectors, spectrometer configuration, sample type, and experiment goals.
Photoluminescence measurements
Support optically stimulated emission measurements where laser excitation and sample access are appropriate.
Spectrometer integration
Discuss detector and spectrometer paths around wavelength range, signal levels, and experiment goals.
Optical alignment and imaging
Use camera-first alignment and optical views to position collection paths and sample regions more repeatably.
Correlative electron/photon measurements
Connect optical emission signals with SEM/FIB images, maps, sample conditions, and material features.
Aether Software coordination
Coordinate cameras, spectrometers, illumination, acquisition views, and hardware profiles.
Applications
Emission measurements for materials where photons add context.
CL/PL workflows help connect optical response with structure, defects, interfaces, and local microscopy observations.
S
Semiconductors
Correlate optical emission with device structures, growth features, defects, and electron microscopy context.
D
Defect characterization
Investigate emission signatures tied to defect states, recombination pathways, or local material variation.
Q
Quantum materials
Support optical response studies where emission behavior benefits from spatially correlated microscopy data.
2D
2D materials
Explore local emission, layer-dependent response, strain effects, and correlative mapping workflows.
O
Optoelectronic materials
Connect optical performance indicators with morphology, interfaces, and electron/photon measurement context.
C
Correlative microscopy
Combine photon signals, spectra, maps, and SEM/FIB imaging into a more complete materials picture.
