Abstract

Incoherent fluorescence optical Kerr gating can in principle be used to measure fluorescence anisotropies and determine molecular reorientational times. A novel method for fluorescence anisotropy by use of optical Kerr gating with incoherent laser light is presented. Incoherent optical Kerr signals have been obtained for parallel and perpendicular fluorescence polarization for a 10^-3-M solution of Rhodamine 6G in ethanol.
