have carved their niche because of the merits of noninvasivity, accuracy, and
robustness in even strong electromagnetic elds. Fluorescence is a process
distinct from incandescence (i.e., emission of light due to high temperatures).
Heating is generally detrimental to the process of uorescence, and most
substances, when uorescing, produce very little heat. Due to this reason,
uorescence has commonly been referred to as “cold light.” In the standard
conceptual model of molecules, the electrons occupy distinct orbits and thus
energy levels. When light falls on a molecule that absorbs rather than trans-
mits, one or more of the electrons of the molecule are “kicked” into a higher
energy state. All these excited elect
