Time Resolved Fluorescence Measurements of Fluorophores Close to Metal Nanoparticles

  • Chapter
Radiative Decay Engineering

Part of the book series: Topics in Fluorescence Spectroscopy ((TIFS,volume 8))

Abstract

Time resolved fluorescence measurements have become an important tool in applied fluorescence spectroscopy. Recently, it has been pointed out that the controlled manipulation of fluorescence decay rates opens a new dimension in applied fluorescence spectroscopy/ The fluorescence decay rate depends on two independent contributions, the pure radiative rate and the nonradiative rate. The latter one can be influenced by the well known Forster-type resonant energy transfer processes, while the radiative rate can be changed if the molecules are embedded or close to media comprising a dielectric constant markedly different from vacuum. Especially metal nanostructures have been used to alter both decay paths of fluorescent molecules. Apart from a change of those two rates, the absorption cross-section might also be altered.
