Deep-UV fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

Deep-UV fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy
Deep-UV fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy
A novel fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) working with deep UV 240-280 nm wavelength excitations has been developed. UV-FLIM is used for measurement of defect-related fluorescence and its changes upon annealing from femtosecond laser-induced modifications in fused silica. This FLIM technique can be used with microfluidic and biosamples to characterize temporal characteristics of fluorescence upon UV excitation, a capability easily added to a standard microscope-based FLIM. UV-FLIM was tested to show annealing of the defects induced by silica structuring with ultrashort laser pulses. Frequency-domain fluorescence measurements were converted into the time domain to extract long fluorescence lifetimes from defects in silica.

Abstract

A novel fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) working with deep UV 240-280 nm wavelength excitations has been developed. UV-FLIM is used for measurement of defect-related fluorescence and its changes upon annealing from femtosecond laser-induced modifications in fused silica. This FLIM technique can be used with microfluidic and biosamples to characterize temporal characteristics of fluorescence upon UV excitation, a capability easily added to a standard microscope-based FLIM. UV-FLIM was tested to show annealing of the defects induced by silica structuring with ultrashort laser pulses. Frequency-domain fluorescence measurements were converted into the time domain to extract long fluorescence lifetimes from defects in silica.
