Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 4))

Abstract

An accurate determination of the kinetic decay law governing the excited state decay of in vivo chlorophyll and associated light harvesting pigments is of fundamental importance to an understanding of the excitation energy transfer process in photosynthesis (1). We have used time resolved fluorescence decay techniques based around ultrashort pulse lasers to follow the temporal characteristics of light emission from photosynthetic systems.
