Fluorescence Lifetime Measurements Using Entangled-Photon Coincidences

Conference · · CLEO 2023

We have utilized entangled photon pair coincidences to measure the fluorescence lifetime of the organic dye Rhodamine 6G, allowing lifetime measurements to be conducted at low intensities with a CW laser and without ultrafast pulsed lasers.
