Abstract :
Fluorescence induced by mode-locked and synchronously pumped continuous wave lasers and detected by time-resolved single-photon counting is a sensitive and dynamic property to be utilized in a wide variety of biological and medical applications. Examples are given to illustrate the potency of the technique.
