FLUORESCENCE RELAXATION KINETICS FROM RHODOPSIN AND

The fluorescence kinetics of bovine rhodopsin and isorhodopsin excited with a single picosecond laser pulse have been measured with a streak camera. The rise and the decay time of the intrinsic fluorescence emission from rhodopsin and isorhodopsin are found to be <12 ps.
