6 Steady State Measurements: Absorbance One of the very first commercially available instrument that measures absorbance was the Beckman DU Machine nowadays that utilizes diffraction grating and diode array detector can acquire an absorbance spectra in less than 10 seconds.

7 Organic dye: Fluorescence (S 1 -S 0 ) Solvent Effect: Ruby:

8 Time-Dependent Fluorescence: Fluorescence Lifetime Fluorescence Lifetime: The average amount of time a molecule stays in excited state Probability of being in the excited state kf = rate constant for leaving excited state while emitting a photon ki = rate constant for leaving excited state through other means (ie. Dynamic quenching, Energy Transfer, etc) Excited State kf ki ki Diagram by Robert Clegg in Photosynth Res Aug-Sep;101(2-3): Fluorescence Lifetime: i 1 ki Lifetime is sensitive to other decaying pathway present!

10 First mention of lifetimes? The Bologna stone, when placed in the sun attracts the rays, and retains them so long as to give light a considerable time after it is removed into the dark. Goethe The Sorrows of Werter
