Laser Excited Fluorescence Of Dityrosine, Sahar F. Mahmoud, Stephen E. Bialkowski Jan 1995

Laser Excited Fluorescence Of Dityrosine, Sahar F. Mahmoud, Stephen E. Bialkowski

Stephen E. Bialkowski

In this research, laser-excited fluorescence was examined for sensitive detection of aqueous dityrosine. Samples were excited with a 6.3-mW, 325-nm helium-cadmium laser focused into a small volume-fluorescence cell with a 10-cm lens. The resulting fluorescence emission was collected perpendicular to the excitation and detected with two different schemes. An optical bandpass filter was used with a photomultiplier tube for sensitive quantitative measurement, while a photodiode array detector was used in conjunction with a spectrograph for qualitative characterization of fluorescence emission spectra. Dityrosine detection on the order of 2 × 10-11 M was obtained with the use of the photomultiplier …


Gas Phase Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy Of Cfcl, Stephen E. Bialkowski, David S. King, John C. Stephenson Jan 1979

Gas Phase Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy Of Cfcl, Stephen E. Bialkowski, David S. King, John C. Stephenson

Stephen E. Bialkowski

The CFCl radical has been produced in the gas phase by both IR multiphotonphotolysis of C2F3Cl and He metastable reaction with C2F3Cl. Single vibronic level fluorescence and excitation spectra taken of this species have yielded sufficient information to determine certain vibronic constants. The excited state was found to have an origin of T0=25 283±5 cm−1 with vibrational frequencies: ω2′=394±3 cm−1 and ω3′=739±5 cm−1. In the ground state, the vibrational frequencies were found to be: ω3″=118±10 cm−1, ω2″=448±6 cm …
