To access dynamical properties of single photon sources on surfaces, atomic scale control is mandatory. For the improved characterisation of charge carrier and exciton dynamics, we design a new scanning-tunnelling microscope (STM).
The tunnel current in an STM tunnel junction can be used to excite photons locally on atomic scale objects. To collect the emitted photons we will employ a parabolic mirror, which will be aligned in-situ using piezo-driven actuators. An external optical set-up will be used for optical analysis. A spectrometer will yield information on the photon wavelength while avalanche photo-diodes (APDs) will be used for single-photon detection and high time resolution.
