Abstract

Photoluminescence is a form of light emission from a material which is initiated by the excitation of the electronic system of the material by incident photons. New photons can then be emitted, as the excited electrons relaxes back to their ground states and the emitted photons can reveal important information of the electronic system of the material. Micro-photoluminescence, described in this chapter, is a versatile technique for characterization and studies of material optical properties on a smaller length scale. Basic principles and instrumentation are described and relevant examples are provided for heterostructures and nanostructured semiconductor materials with the focus on analysis of fundamental properties relevant for today’s applications.
