Resonance fluorescence is fluorescence from an atom or molecule in which the light emitted is at the same frequency as the light absorbed. Resonance Fluorescence IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology IUPAC 1997 http://www.iupac.org/goldbook/R05335.pdf pdf 2007-06-01 In resonance fluorescence, a photon is absorbed, causing an electron to jump to a higher level from which, after a delay, it falls back to its original level, emitting a photon having the same energy as the one absorbed. The emission direction is random. Notes
