27. The spatially resolved PL spectra were measured by focusing the output of a diode laser (405 nm) onto the sample using a microscope objective. PL was collected by a 5-mm diameter lens, which was moved in the image plane, coupled to an optical fiber, and then guided to a monochromator. The spectra were recorded using a liquid nitrogen-cooled CCD camera. The spatial resolution was approximately 50 μm.
