Abstract

Abstract: An experimental setup of laser trapping combined with in situ measurements of steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies was developed for analyzing photophysical properties of a single submicrometer particle in solution.Simultaneous laser trapping and in situ steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements of dye-doped polystyrene beads were demonstrated.This study provides a new strategy for investigating photophysical properties of a single submicrometer particle.

Key words: laser trapping, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, dye-doped polystyrene bead,rhodamine 6G
