Phase-Sensitive Detection of Fluorescence

  • Chapter

Abstract

Phase-sensitive detection of fluorescence (PSDF) is a newly developed method with numerous potential applications in physical, chemical, and biological research. This method is based upon the principles discussed in Chapter 3 with regard to the measurement of fluorescence lifetimes by the phase shift and demodulation methods. It is convenient to discuss this topic separately, with emphasis on the analysis of samples which display ground state heterogeneity. In a subsequent chapter we will describe the application of this technique to excited state reactions.
