EOLF Advantages
• No Gain Correction Factor (G-Factor)
• No polarizer movement
• Rapid switching between polarization states supports high speed kinetic experiments

EOLF Also Supports CPL
Circularly Polarized Luminescence (CPL)
• Differential emission of left and right circularly polarized light
• Fluorescence analog of circular dichroism (CD)
• Sensitive to environmental changes of chiral fluorophores
