Abstract
Asynchronous optical sampling (ASOPS) allows rapid collection
of
transient absorption/reflection data over wide time scales with a
high dynamic range in both time and signal magnitude. In this paper,
a method for recording transient images using ASOPS is presented based
on time-gated integration of the transient signal. This technique
allows diffraction-limited pump-probe microscopy images to be rapidly
collected at precise, user-specified time delays, with approximately
15 picoseconds time resolution. Results are presented for the excited-state
dynamics in multilayered WSe2 flakes, charge-carrier diffusion
in a silicon wafer, and images of Au nanoparticle arrays that demonstrate
the spatial/temporal resolution and sensitivity of the technique.
Potential applications and the ultimate time resolution that can be
achieved are also discussed.
