Monitoring of Orientation in Molecular Ensembles by Polarization Sensitive Nonlinear Microscopy
We present high resolution two-photon excitation microscopy studies combining two-photon fluorescence (TPF) and second harmonic generation (SHG) in order to probe orientational distributions of molecular ensembles at room temperature.

Use of a distant reporter group as evidence for a conformational change in a sensory receptor [PDF]
A highly sensitive method for demonstrating ligand-induced conformational changes in protein molecules in solution is described. The method utilizes an environmentally sensitive reporter group that is known to be distant from the active site.

Probing Plasmons in Graphene by Resonance Energy Transfer
We propose a novel method to probe electronic excitations in graphene by monitoring the fluorescence quenching of a semiconductor quantum dot (or a dye molecule) due to the resonance energy transfer to the graphene sheet.

Comparison of Absorption, Fluorescence, and Polarization Spectroscopy of Atomic Rubidium [PDF]
An ongoing spectroscopic investigation of atomic rubidium utilizes a two-photon, single-laser excitation process. Transitions accessible with our tunable laser include 5P1/2 (F ′ ) ← 5S1/2 (F) and 5P3/2 (F ′ ) ← 5S1/2 (F).

An insight into polarization states of solid-state organic lasers
The polarization states of lasers are crucial issues both for practical applications and fundamental research. In general, they depend in a combined manner on the properties of the gain material and on the structure of the electromagnetic modes.
