The three-dimensional spectrum generated by scanning the
emission spectrum at incremental steps of
excitationwavelength
(
axis = emission
wavelength,
axis = excitation
wavelength,
axis = emission flux) is called a (
fluorescence,
phosphorescence)
excitation-
emission spectrum (or
EES). The spectra are particularly useful for investigating samples containing more than
one emitting species. Corrected
EES are obtained if (a) the emission is corrected for instrumental response with
wavelength, and (b) the exciting radiation flux in photons
is held constant for all excitation wavelengths.
