title: Long-distance fluorescence lifetime imaging using stimulated emission.
abstract: Long-distance stimulated emission imaging has recently been demonstrated as a novel approach for the characterization and imaging of samples containing fluorescent moieties. We present an extension of this methodology through a pump-probe setup for fluorescence lifetime determination and imaging. We measure fluorescence lifetimes of Rhodamine 6G at different solutions and indocyanine green using long-distance fluorescence lifetime imaging.
