Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Molecules have various states referred to as energy levels. Fluorescence spectroscopy isprimarily concerned with electronic and vibrational states. Generally, the species being examined has a ground electronic state (a low-energy state) of interest and an excited electronic state of higher energy. Within each of these electronic states are various vibrational states. In fluorescence spectroscopy, the species is first excited, by absorbing a photon, from its ground electronic state to one of the various vibrational states in the excited electronic state. Collisions with other molecules cause the excited molecule to lose vibrational energy until it reaches the lowest vibrational state of the excited electronic state. This process is often visualized with a Jablonski diagram.
