Fluorescence quantum yield

Fluorescence Quantum Yield (Φf) is a numerical measure assessing how efficiently a fluorophore converts absorbed photons into emitted fluorescence. Ranging from 0 to 1, with 1 representing maximum efficiency, Φf is crucial in selecting fluorophores for applications like imaging or sensing. High quantum yields signify effective fluorescence, while lower values suggest prevalent non-radiative processes. Researchers employ this metric to compare fluorophore performance, aiding in the optimal choice for specific applications.
