Abstract

Transient absorption microscopy enables the observation of ultra fast excited-state dynamics with spatial resolution. Conventional implementations are technologically limited to small fields of view around a single diffraction-limited spot, offering no statistical information on the photophysics of the sample. We recently used off-axis holography to demonstrate an all-optical lock-in camera enabling widefield transient imaging at arbitrary repetition rate. Here, we use a structured excitation pattern comprised of hundreds of diffraction-limited spots as an effective way to study diffusion of carriers in semiconductors, whilst probing the sample’s heterogeneity over an area of (≈60μm2), more than 100 times larger than current techniques. We envision that this technique can be used to provide a much more complete picture of photophysical processes in heterogeneous samples.
