Triplet-state monitoring by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy
Abstract
The effects of high excitation intensities in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) in terms of saturation and triplet-state build-up have been studied for the case of Rh6G in aqueous solution. It was found that FCS provides a powerful means for the determination of intersystem crossing and triplet-state depopulation rates of fluorophores in solution.
