Abstract

We present a novel instrument combining femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy with broadband detection and confocal microscopy. The system has 200-fs temporal resolution and 300-nm spatial resolution. We apply the instrument to map excited state dynamics in thin films of polyfluorene-polymethylethacrylate blends.
