Abstract: | A theory, which connects rotational brownian motion with intensity fluctuations of the light emitted from fluorescent molecules excited by linearly polarized light, is given. Analysis of rotational diffusion in this way does not depend on the close relationship between fluorescence lifetime and rotational relaxation times, which is necessary in present methods and thus makes an enlarged time range available for fluorescence spectroscopy.When short fluorescence lifetimes are used the rotational diffusion of the molecule in its ground state will be observed. |
