Laser-induced fluorescence or LED-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a spectroscopic method used for studying structure of molecules, detection of selective species and flow visualization and measurements.
The species to be examined is excited with a laser. The wavelength is often selected to be the one at which the species has its largest cross section. The excited species will after some time, usually in the order of few nanoseconds to microseconds, de-excite and emit light at a wavelength longer than the excitation wavelength. This fluorescent light is typically recorded with a photomultiplier tube (PMT) or Filtered Photodiodes.
Two different kinds of spectra exist, disperse spectra and excitation spectra.
The disperse spectra are performed with a fixed lasing wavelength, as above and the fluorescence spectrum is analyzed. Excitation scans on the other hand collect fluorescent light at a fixed emission wavelength or range of wavelengths. Instead the lasing wavelength is changed.

Here we investigate the turbulent flow field of a weak vortex structure as it forms over a horizontal intake. When the critical submergence is reached, a full air core extends to the intake resulting in a relatively steady circulatory flow field. The tangential velocity varies inversely with the radius from the intake thus forming a highly turbulent vortex core re...

The technique soon moved beyond gas samples and into the liquid phase, as it became a detection technique in liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis (CE-LIF). Nowadays, LIF detection can be found in many contexts, from commercial analytical instruments to advanced microscopy experiments, and it is routinely used in biological and environmental research as well as fundamental spectroscopy studies

Here we investigate the turbulent flow field of a weak vortex structure as it forms over a horizontal intake. When the critical submergence is reached, a full air core extends to the intake resulting in a relatively steady circulatory flow field. The tangential velocity varies inversely with the radius from the intake thus forming a highly turbulent vortex core region dominated by the effects of eddy viscosity (Einstein and Li, 1951; Anwar 1969).
The planar LIF experiment is performed using solutions of Rhodamine B and 10 μm hollow glass spheres. A Nd:YAG laser emits pulses of 532 nm light which is shaped by light sheet optics before entering the test tank. The laser light excites the Rhodamine B which fluoresces yellow, whereas the hollow glass spheres scatter the light to appear green in the image frame. Imaging is performed at 75 fps using a MotionBLITZ EoSens® mini high speed camera system. The radial Reynolds number in the experiment is approximately Rr = 12500
Special thanks to my colleague Shane Wimsey for his assistance in implementing the experiment.
