Resonance Fluorescence: A Special Case of Fluorescence

The video tutorial reviews fluorescence, focusing on photon absorption and emission. It explains the relationship between photon energy and wavelength, and discusses singlet and triplet excited states. The concept of vibrational relaxation is introduced, followed by a detailed explanation of resonance fluorescence, highlighting its distinction from normal fluorescence. Resonance fluorescence occurs when the absorbed and emitted photons have the same energy and wavelength.
