Abstract
A photon distribution function wN(T) for blinking fluorescence with bright on- and dark off-intervals is derived. The function wN(T) is expressed via few Poissonian functions each of which relates to corresponding exponential process in quantum dynamics of a given individual molecule. The distribution of photons is calculated for short, middle and long time intervals as compared to off-intervals. The distributions are much broader than Poissonian distribution and have rather complicated shape. If time resolution of an experiment does not permit us to see off-interval and, therefore, fluorescence looks like CW emission, the distribution of photons gives a signal about existence of hidden off- intervals in such CW fluorescence.
