• Photophysics of Fluorescence Probes for Single Molecule Biophysics and Super-Resolution Imaging (2012, unknown): “Meanwhile, it is accepted that most off-states longer than several milliseconds are not related to triplet states but have other origins such as specific photochemistry(40, 41) or redox blinking (27, 37, 42, 43).”
• Single-photon sources (2005, background): “Furthermore, the complexity and flexibility of the environment at room temperature allows the existence of metastable dark states, leading to extended dark periods, during which emission stops (Zondervan et al 2003, 2004).”
• An oxygen scavenging system for improvement of dye stability in single-molecule fluorescence experiments. (2008, background): “Several species—including triplet states (16), conformational isomers (17), and radical ions (18,19)—have been proposed to contribute to dye instability, whether as dark states themselves or as reactive precursors to dark states.”
• Luminescent nanomaterials for biological labelling (2005, background): “Although single organic dyes suffer from intermittent on/off emission (blinking) [7–9], the blinking can be used for single-molecule detection.”
