Typically, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is evaluated by measuring luminescence spectra using a spectrofluorometer while varying the volume ratio of a poor to a good solvent, whereas circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is assessed separately using a CPL spectrometer. However, these conventional methods rely on manual operation, which may lead to operational errors, particularly when processing a large number of samples. Furthermore, cases often occur where AIE is observed while CPL is not, suggesting that simultaneous measurement of both phenomena will enhance the efficiency of AICPL characterization.
