LightField

Model: LF

LightField® software offers the user complete control over all Princeton Instrument cameras and spectrographs and is able to acquire directly from LabVIEW®. MATLAB®, and Python script interfaces.

LightField® software contains a smart search bar, quickly directing you to desired controls. There is also the possibility to build custom settings docks for frequently used settings.

We offer a 45-day evaluation of Lightfield upon request.

Key Features

Automatic Saving

LightField automatically saves every acquisition to your chosen folder, keeping track of all experiment settings in the file header. Raw data is also saved when using the post-processing feature, exporting all data into a wide variety of file formats.

Built-In Math Engine

The powerful built-in math engine analyses image and spectra data in real-time. Simple functions to complex functions, such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), can be applied to live or post-acquisition data, even including out-of-the-box measurements such as absorption, reflectance, and transmission.

Post-Processing Tools

Reviewing of data is also simple with LightField, with intuitive controls for spectral overlay, peak find, view, and playback. All available readout modes are also supported: frame transfer, kinetics, spectra kinetics (microsecond time resolution), and custom chip (>10 kHz frame rates).

Our research group uses imaging spectrographs from Princeton Instruments to acquire Fourier-resolved photoluminescence data from lanthanide ions, organic molecules, and semiconductor quantum dots. Using LightField and its new IntelliCal feature, we have been able to rapidly shift between different detectors and grating sets to work over a broad spectral range. LightField’s novel interface allows each user to customize his or her experiments, and the automated IntelliCal routine provides an easy and accurate way to perform both wavelength and intensity calibration in just a few minutes.
