In recent years 2D materials based on transition metal dichalogenides (TMDs) have come up as an interesting material system mainly due to their remarkable properties in the monolayer regime after the successful exploration of graphene. While the main optical properties of these materials have been studied and understood well, the influence of the substrate material on the energy levels and the recombination dynamics are not yet sufficiently discussed. Here, we present a systematic comparison of the optical properties of monolayered WSe₂ on different substrates including SiO₂, sapphire, Si₃N₄-hBN and MgF₂. In addition to the exfoliated monolayers, a CVD grown monolayer on sapphire is included. While similarities have been found for the Raman signal and PL of these samples, small differences regarding excitonic features, emission characteristics and decay dynamics have been observed in dependence on the substrate.
