The Montana Instruments CryoRaman microscope is used to perform low temperature microphotoluminescence and microRaman spectroscopies at temperatures of 3K-350K. Quantum Opus superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) are fiber coupled to the microscope for single photon and two-photon interferometry at visible wavelengths, and a PI IsoPlane SCT-320 imaging spectrograph is integrated with the sample stage for hyperspectral mapping. Free-space microphotoluminescence and microRaman measurements are developed now. Microwave and fiber excitation are under development for initial experiments in spring 2020. Pulsed and CW excitation is possible with a variety of available laser sources.
