Picosecond luminescence detection using type-ii phase-matched frequency conversion

TL;DR: In this paper, the sum and difference frequency generation in a type-11 phase-matched KDP crystal was used to generate up-and down-converted radiation from molecular fluorescence with a pulse-correlated time-resolution of less than 10 ps using multiple shots.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of very short fluorescence lifetimes by single-photon counting.

TL;DR: The origin of small‐amplitude early and late artifactual peaks in the light pulser and fluorescence profiles are investigated and complications in the analysis of lifetime data introduced by intrinsic fluorescence and phosphorescence processes in commonly used absorption filters are discussed.

Biphotonic laser excitation of upper singlet state fluorescence in organic dyes

TL;DR: In this paper, a biphotonic pulsed laser excitation was used to obtain the upper excited singlet states in three xanthene dyes, and it was shown that the observed spectra depend on the nature and timing of the excitation frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Stokes-shifted fluorescence risetime of dye molecules in solution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the rise of Stokes-shifted spontaneous fluorescence intensity during a 10 ps 530 nm actinic light pulse for rhodamine B, rhodamines 6G and erythrosin B dissolved in water, ethanol and methanol.

Direct observation of vibrational relaxation of dye molecules in solution

TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristic time for vibrational relaxation in an optically excited molecular electronic state has been measured with picosecond resolution for the molecules rhodamine B and rhodamines 6G in solution using a new experimental technique.

Direct measurement of the vibrational decay of dye molecules in the excited state

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the vibrational deactivation time of dye molecules in spontaneous emission in water and methanol and showed that the decay time is 40 ± 5 psec.

Ultrahigh-speed photography of picosecond light pulses

TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for the display of picosecond light pulses is presented, which consists in simply observing their flight through a scattering medium from behind an ultrafast shutter having a framing time equal to the time resolution desired.

Study of the duration and birefringence of self-trapped filaments in CS 2

TL;DR: In this article, small-scale optically trapped filaments in liquid CS 2 were studied by side illumination and crossed polarizers using the second-harmonic radiation of a mode-locked Nd3+: glass laser.
