Abstract
We present an experimental technique using the time structure of synchrotron radiation to study time resolved X‐ray excited optical luminescence. In particular we are taking advantage of the bunched distribution of electrons in a synchrotron storage ring, giving short x‐ray pulses (10–102 picoseconds) which are separated by non‐radiating gaps on the nano‐ to tens of nanosecond scale — sufficiently wide to study a broad range of optical decay channels observed in advanced nanostructured materials.
