AFM Optical Platform

Designed to be combined with Optical Spectroscopies

The AFM platform allows fully-integrated use of confocal Raman microscopy and AFM for Tip-Enhanced Optical Spectroscopies (such as Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) and Tip-Enhanced PhotoLuminescence (TEPL)), but also for truly co-localized AFM-Raman measurements.

The myriad of AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) techniques that allow study of topographical, electrical and mechanical properties can be performed with any laser source available in Raman spectrometer, or with other external illumination (e.g., solar simulator or other tunable or continuum source). TERS and TEPL can provide nanoscale chemical and structural information, making the AFM-Raman platform a two-way road; where complimentary techniques provide novel and unique imaging capabilities to each other.

Nano Spectroscopy Solutions with AFM-Raman, TERS, NSOM

HORIBA's leading Raman technology is now integrated with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The end result is a more comprehensive sample characterization in one versatile instrument, for fast simultaneous co-localized AFM-Raman measurements, Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) and Tip-Enhanced PhotoLuminescence (TEPL).

NanoRaman Webinar

Correlated Tip-Enhanced Optical Spectroscopy and SPM

We present in this webinar new nano-imaging capabilities. Tip-Enhanced Optical Spectroscopies (TEOS) such as TERS (Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) and TEPL (Tip-Enhanced PhotoLuminescence) provide a unique capability for the characterization of molecules, 1D and 2D materials, semiconducting nanostructures and bio-materials.

Discover Recent Advances in TERS Imaging of 2D Materials

In this webinar, a number of exciting developments in the tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) field will be discussed, including non–trivial excitation wavelength dependence of the gap-mode TERS response of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) on silver that resulted in reconsidering the role of resonance effects and strong optical coupling in TERS and completely unexpected discovery of the normally forbidden Raman bands in TERS spectra of the monolayer h-BN on gold caused by the proximity of TMD monolayer to multiple layers exfoliated on top...
