Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy or TIRF is an advanced microscopic technique used to visualize fluorophores in samples close to a solid surface with a higher refractive index, such as a glass coverslip. TIRF only allows fluorophores in proximity to the solid surface to be excited. When light from a medium with a lower refractive index (such as air) hits the glass coverslip at a critical angle, the light undergoes total internal reflection stead of passing through the glass.

Background:

Optimizing semiconductor charge-carrier dynamics is crucial for device performance.
Current characterization methods lack spatiotemporal resolution, necessitating iterative fabrication.
Direct visualization of carrier dynamics is needed for efficient interface optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and apply transient spectroscopic imaging (TSI) for direct visualization of intra- and intergrain carrier dynamics.
To investigate the effect of 4-fluorobenzoyl amide (FBA) passivation on two-dimensional (2D) BA₂PbI₄ perovskite films.
To optimize micronano-scale interfaces for enhanced device performance.

Main Methods:

Developed transient spectroscopic imaging (TSI) combining transient photoluminescence and transient absorption microscopy.
Studied FBA-passivated 2D BA₂PbI₄ perovskite films.
Integrated optimized photodetectors (PDs) into a single-pixel imaging system.

Main Results:

TSI directly visualized carrier dynamics and guided interface optimization.
FBA passivation suppressed carrier recombination and increased intragrain diffusion coefficient (D) and diffusion length in 2D perovskite films.
FBA-passivated PDs achieved high responsivity (39.0 A W^-1) under weak light and a wide linear dynamic range (139.2 dB).

Conclusions:

TSI provides a robust platform for analyzing carrier dynamics and understanding PD operation.
FBA passivation significantly enhances the performance of 2D perovskite photodetectors.
The developed PDs enable high-fidelity image reconstruction and recognition, expanding applications for 2D perovskites.
