title: A systematic study on fluorescence enhancement under single-photon pulsed illumination.
abstract: We present a detailed study on fluorescence enhancement by 'stroboscopic' illumination with light pulses having duration ranging from few milliseconds to sub-picoseconds. We show how a delicate balance between pulse width and pulse repetition rate can result in an unprecedented fluorescence enhancement that has immediate applications in fluorescence imaging.
