Picosecond time-resolved antibunching measures nanoscale exciton motion, annihilation, and true number of chromophores

Gordon J. Hedley, Tim Schröder, Florian Steiner +8

The particle-like nature of light becomes evident in the photon statistics of fluorescence of single quantum systems as photon antibunching. In multichromophoric systems, exciton d…

Interchromophoric Interactions Determine the Maximum Brightness Density in DNA Origami Structures

Tim Schröder, Max B. Scheible, Florian Steiner +2

An ideal point light source is as small and as bright as possible. For fluorescent point light sources, homogeneity of the light sources is important as well as that the fluorescen…
