Circularly Polarized Luminescence (CPL) Spectrophotometer
CPL-300 - Jasco Analytical Instruments (Jasco)
The circularly polarized luminescence spectrophotometer supplements the information obtained from other chiroptical techniques such as electronic or vibrational circular dichroism. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is widely used in the study of optically active substances. CD spectroscopy provides information about the structure of optically active substances in the electronic ground state, however, CPL spectroscopy provides information about excited states. The two techniques are therefore complementary.
