Optical properties of paper at 337.1nm

Abstract

Here, we are reporting on the 337.1 nm radiation scattering and fluorescence spectra for white and colored bond paper (100~$\mu$m thick) using an N$_{2}$ laser of 1~$\mu$J pulse energy (t$_{FWHM}$ = 3.8 ns). Fluorescence lifetimes in the order of 10 ns and transit-times in the order of 1 ns were obtained. No fluorescence changes were caused by the short term paper irradiation.
