Abstract:
We review the technique of multiplexed time-correlated single-photon counting whereby multiple fluorescence decay curves are recorded in parallel by statistically time-sharing a single time-to-amplitude converter. Application of the multiplexing technique to measuring the fluorescence lifetime topography of a self-absorbing sample is demonstrated. Further possibilities are discussed for multiplexed optical fiber sensor networks with built-in intelligence for detecting and discriminating between different metal ions in solution.
