Abstract

We have seen that light can excite molecules from their ground states to states with higher energies and can stimulate downward transitions from excited states to the ground state. But excited molecules also decay to the ground state even when the light intensity is zero. The extra energy of the excited molecule can be radiated as fluorescence, transferred to another molecule, or dissipated to the surroundings as heat. In this chapter we consider fluorescence.
