The Gujarat-based Laboratory of Advanced Synthesis and Characterization (LASC) is currently engaged in producing LASC probe stations tailored for universities globally. These stations enable the thorough examination of opto-electronic characteristics in a diverse array of materials such as semiconductors, thin films, LEDs, and solar cells.
Utilizing the probe station’s capabilities, researchers can analyze the opto-electronic properties of these materials, manipulating temperature and wavelength. This comprehensive approach facilitates a more profound comprehension of the materials and enables the effective optimization of their properties.
The LASC at Pandit Deendayal Energy University Incubation Centre caters to diverse domains, producing basic and advanced automated probe stations. By domestically developing these stations, Indian researchers gain enhanced design flexibility at reduced costs, allowing them to modify their experimental setups according to requirements. This capability was previously inaccessible with imported systems.
Probe Station consists of three elements:
- It mark it differ than the available and imported similar systems.
- These include Peltier Elements– a solid-state device capable of transferring heat when subjected to an electrical current; zero welding helping it attain high vacuum level and a system that offers superior control over opto-electronic functions.
- The systems are user-friendly, equipped with tungsten tips, which provide exceptionally low resistance for high-temperature measurements.
Supported by the Science Engineering Research Board (SERB), a statutory body of the Department of Science and Technology, the incubation center’s specialized fabrication facility, alongside a skilled design and programming team, has effectively supplied systems to more than ten Indian Universities, two in Europe, and several in the Middle East.
