TL;DR: This review introduces photonic crystal fibre as a novel optofluidic microdevice that can be employed as both a versatile chemical sensor and a highly efficient microreactor and demonstrates that it provides an excellent platform in which light and chemical samples can strongly interact for quantitative spectroscopic analysis or photoactivation purposes.

TL;DR: Complexs of formula [Eu(beta-diketonate)(3)(DPEPO)] are prepared and quantitative excited-state energy transfer from the ligands combined with efficient Ln luminescence leading to exceptionally-high total photoluminescence quantum yield in solution and in PMMA.

TL;DR: Initial photophysical studies have shown that an ensemble of weakly coordinating ligands can lead to luminescence not present in comparable mononuclear systems.

TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of the three-dimensional excitation-emission-matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectra of humic acids and other organic matter from corals and other sources is reported, the results of which have implications for the use of corals as paleoenvironmental indicators.

TL;DR: The effects of excitation wavelength on the optical properties of a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) containing a fluorescent organic dye (Lumogen F Rot 305) are studied and the optical efficiency is shown to depend strongly on the Stokes shift of the fluorophore.
