Abstract: Fluorescence lifetimes can be measured with a cw laser which is modulated in the MHz range. The fluorescence emission is also modulated but, due to the non-zero lifetime, features a phase shift and a reduced modulation amplitude as compared to the excitation. This behavior is analogous to the transfer function of an electronic low-pass filter and can be described with very similar equations. The fluorescence lifetimes calculated from the phase shift and the modulation amplitude are identical in the case of single-exponential fluorescence decay and differ otherwise. For the interpretation of the data the so-called polar-plot (or phasor) approach is particularly useful which is equivalent to the Cole-Cole plot in dielectric spectroscopy. The distribution of data points corresponding to different spots on a sample allows one to assess and interpret material inhomogeneities. Experimental data and their polar plots will be presented for three different examples: The laser dye Rhodamine 6G doped into different polymer matrices, an auto-fluorescent conjugated polythiophene polymer, and the inorganic chalcogenide semiconductor gallium selenide (GaSe).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
