Abstract:
Wave-number-resolved time-correlation functions of density fluctuations are determined from purely incoherent fluorescence signals using a new method, Fourier imaging correlation spectroscopy (FICS). We demonstrate the application of FICS to chemical and biological samples with ultrahigh signal sensitivity and time resolution superior to direct imaging methods. We outline the theory that establishes the connection between FICS observables and statistical mechanical quantities describing liquid state dynamics.
