The nonresonant multiphoton laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of isotopically purified 7Li was obtained with a tunable, pulsed, nanosecond laser scanned between 13 600 and 14 500 cm–1. The measured Rydberg series include n 2P [Formula: see text] 2 2S, n 2F [Formula: see text] 2 2S, n 2P [Formula: see text]2 2P, and n 2F [Formula: see text] 2 2P, and term values up to 14 2P and 28 2F were determined. Features due to the ac Stark effect become prominent for the high Rydberg states, but can be eliminated by using circular instead of plane-polarized radiation. Quantum defect values for the n 2P, n 2D, and n 2F levels were determined. Those for the n 2F states cover a range of principal quantum numbers not previously investigated.

We have studied the fluorescence excitation spectrum of natural Cl2 molecules induced by a monomode ring dye laser around various X(ν″ = 0) → B(ν′ ≥ 18) bandheads. Contrary to the main 35–35Cl2 isotope, the less abundant species 35–37Cl2 and 37–37Cl2 have not, up to now, been thoroughly investigated in this region. Our experiment has allowed a precise determination of a number of isotope shifts, which are shown to be calculable by a local interpolation procedure of Coxon's data, using the concept of mass-reduced quantum numbers.

When the sub-core complex of photosystem II, D1/D2, is irradiated at 436 or 415 nm (absorption by chlorophyll and pheophytin and β-carotene) or 540 nm (absorption primarily by pheophytin), the low temperature fluorescence spectrum has two maxima, at 685 and 674 nm. This shows the existence of at least two different fluorescent forms of chlorophyll (chlorophyll a and perhaps pheophytin a). When carotene is irradiated at 485 nm (absorption primarily by β-carotene), only fluorescence at 685 nm is observed: this indicates that carotene is transferring energy to only the long-wavelength form of chlorophyll in the D1/D2 sub-core complex. The band of carotene (at 485 nm) does not appear in the fluorescence excitation spectrum, measured at 674 nm. The position of the carotene molecule relative to each of the fluorescent forms of chlorophyll was determined from the excitation spectra of each of the fluorescence bands.

The multiphoton laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of 6Li vapor has been measured with a tunable, pulsed, nanosecond laser scanned between 13 600 and 14 500 cm−1. Two- and three-photon allowed excitation transitions originating from the 22S and 22P levels were observed, the latter likely originating from photodissociation products of Li2. Laser polarization and power dependencies are consistent with the multiphoton transition probabilities. Evidence for a parity "forbidden" multiphoton transition is also present.

A method was developed to determine the intracellular pH (pHi) of individual cells by use of fluorescence measurements. The method is based on the observation that the fluorescence excitation spectrum of fluorescein is pH-dependent. Fluorescence excitation spectra from individual rat bone marrow cells treated with fluorescein diacetate (FDA) were compared with those of fluorescein solutions of known pH values. Cells which were suspended in media of pH between 4.0 and 8.1 with high to normal buffering capacities had pHi values equal to those of the media. Cells suspended in media with low buffering capacities maintained a pH,i of 6.7 +/- 0.2. Preliminary results indicated that the pHi of individual cells may also be determined by using flow cytometry.
