In this talk, I will demonstrate that the conventional time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectroscopy method does not work well for metal halide perovskites. This is because measurements of charge carrier lifetime and photoluminescence quantum yield can be misleading in the presence of hidden photoexcitations, such as charge carrier trapping. To address this, I will introduce a multi-pulse TRPL spectroscopy method and demonstrate it on cesium lead tribromide (CsPbBr3) metal halide perovskite microplates. The multi-pulse TRPL allows scanning of the material luminescence state from nanoseconds to milliseconds. As a result, it allows direct extraction of the concentration of trapped charge carriers (over 1016 cm-3) and the rate constant of trap depopulation (1.5×10-10 cm3s-1). At the end of my talk, I will show how the multi-pulse TRPL method can be used in photonic neuromorphic computing applications. This will be demonstrated with metal halide perovskite Memlumors - luminophores with memory. The multi-pulse TRPL method is already provided by setup producers, thus making it available for the researchers in advanced luminescent studies and applications.
