Gourd - UV stimulated fluorescence into the visible

<< < (2/2)

JohnMM:
I like the pictures but I'm confused by the term 'resonance fluorescence'. I though that this describes the situation where excitation and emission energies are the same which is not the case here.

Erik Lund:
Very nice set of images side by side!Really impressive and creative approach ;)

Hugh_3170:
Yes - you are quite correct John, e.g. the 254 nm UV resonance fluorescence radiation from the decay of the excited 6 3P1 state of Mercury to its 61S0 ground state  is a very good example of resonance fluorescence.  (Studied this one for my doctorate - a very long time ago I hasten to add!   :( )
