AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
In this paper we will discuss a few basic concepts concerning the use of evanescent optical fields for the excitation of fluorescent chromophores placed near the interface. The observation of enhanced fluorescence from chromophores excited by surface plasm ...
In this thesis a new approach for single molecule detection and analysis is explored. This approach is based on the combination of two well established methods, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and total internal reflection fluorescence microsco ...
To study the electronic interactions in donor-acceptor (D-A) ensembles, D and A fragments are coupled in a single molecule. Specifically, a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-fused dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (dppz) compound having inherent redox centers has be ...
This work includes the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures as well as the investigation of their optical properties in the near-field and in the farfield. As expressed in the title of this thesis the focus lies in the subwavelength confinement and enha ...
The aim of this thesis is to optimise and gain fundamental information on two applications of photomedicine using fluorescence imaging and spectrofluorometry: (1) the detection of early bronchial cancer by autofluorescence imaging and (2) the endometrial a ...
Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy of wild-type bacteriorhodopsin (WT bR) and 2 tryptophan mutants (W86F and W182F) is performed with visible light excitation (pump) and UV probe. The aim is to investigate the photoinduced change in the charge dis ...
This paper reports the reversible aggregation of porphyrin molecules in a thin solid film. A commercially available molecule, p-meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (H2TPyP(4)), was used for these studies. Optical absorption spectroscopy of the solution and soli ...
We present a systematic study of the time-integrated fluorescence of native bacteriorhodopsin, as a function of excitation wavelength across the visible absorption band. While the fluorescence max. is unaffected, the spectrum broadens on the high-energy si ...
Photo-induced excited-state reactions stand in the center of function of the photosensitive biological systems. These reactions can be accompanied by structural changes of the chromophore (for example isomerization) which are influenced by the nearest envi ...
The ultrafast evolution of the electric field within bacteriorhodopsin was measured by monitoring the absorption changes of a tryptophan residue after excitation of retinal. The Trp absorption decreases within the first 200 femtoseconds and then recovers o ...
