Abstract We present a fluorescent emitter (rhodamine B) coupled to a dielectric or metallic interface as well as a metallic cavity to study their radiative decay processes. Supported by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, we correlate the non-radiative and radiative decay rates with the absorption and scattering cross section efficiencies, respectively. On a single particle level, we use atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scattering spectroscopy, fluorescence life time imaging (FLIM) and time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) to evaluate the enhanced fluorescence decay at the same location. With this study, we show a colloidal gain material, which can be integrated into lattices using existing directed self-assembled methods to study their coherent energy transfer.

Average decay time spectra can be used as a tool to characterize the spectral heterogeneity of DNA templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) and assess the sample preparation procedure.

The state of three tryptophyl residues in human serum orosomucoid was estimated by prediction methods based on parameters characterizing their hydrophobicity either directly, or in terms of buried surfaces of the individual amino acid residues. It is shown that tryptophan 25 is the most buried, while Trp 160 is the most exposed to the solvent. Trp 122 is in this respect in an intermediate state. The fluorescence decay behaviour was determined using a picosecond single photon counting system. The multiwavelength data were analyzed using a global analysis as well as a distribution of lifetimes program. Both procedures yielded the existence of four wavelength independent lifetimes (0.22 ns, 1.0 ns, 2.5 ns, and 8.4 ns). A tentative assignment of the decay associated spectra of the four components to the three individual tryptophans is presented.
