Abstract
A fluorescence component that passes through a region of a detection medium where a change in refractive index has been induced through a nonlinear optical effect produced in the detection medium by a gate pulse is observed as a fluorescence image by utilizing a change in polarization state. By observing the change in position of the fluorescence image while correlating with the change over time in the fluorescence, a fluorescence lifetime measuring apparatus is realized with which the change over time in the fluorescence, in particular the fluorescence lifetime, can be measured efficiently with high temporal resolution.
