12 A fluorescence process (unlike Raman) can be described as a sequence of events that evolve in time. Fluorescence starts with the absorption of a photon (depicted in (a) and (b)). This process is favoured if the LFIEF is large, resulting in enhanced absorption. In (c) and (d), the molecule undergoes vibrational relaxation in the first electronically excited state (S1 ). After a certain amount of time (a few nanoseconds typically), the molecule relaxes to the vibrational levels of the ground state thus emitting a photon (as shown in (e) and (f)).
The initial step involves the absorption of a photon from the ground singlet state S0 to a state in the vibrational substructure of the first singlet state S1 . The first ‘leg’ of fluorescence is, therefore, an absorption process. Unlike Raman, the photon must have enough energy to reach S1 in order to start a fluorescence event and that can only happen for energies above a certain value. 11a and b. Once the molecule is left in the excited state, it undergoes a series of (rapid) vibrational relaxation processes, reaching (typically) the vibrational ground state of S1 after a few picoseconds.
This is due to the much less absorption of Ag compared to Au in the place where the resonance condition for a cylinder is achieved: Re[ (λ)] = −1 in air. approximately constant over distances comparable to the size of the object, and it will look like a uniform field oscillating up and down at a frequency ω. In practice – with typical wavelengths in the visible being in the range ∼500–600 nm – it means that the electrostatic approximation will be mostly valid for objects of typical sizes in the range of ∼10 nm or smaller.
