The Fluorescence ProcessStage 1 : ExcitationA photon of energy hνEX creates an excitedelectronic singlet state (S1'). In chemilumi-nescence, S1’ is populated by a chemicalreaction. Stage 2 : Excited-State LifetimeFor finite time (typ. 1–10 ns), the fluorophoreundergoes conformational changes and issubject to interactions with its molecular envi-ronment. (a) the energy of S1' is partially dissipated,yielding a relaxed singlet excited state (S1). (b) not all excited molecules return to theground state (S0) by fluorescence emission:possibilties are collisional quenching, Fluores-cence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) andintersystem crossing.Stage 3 : Fluorescence EmissionA photon of energy hνEM is emitted, returningthe fluorophore to ground state S0. Due toenergy dissipation (S1’ to S1) the energy ofthe emission photon is lower (longer wave-length). Difference is called the Stokes shift,making it possible to detect emission photonsagainst the huge background of excitationphotons.
