Fluorescence anisotropy or fluorescence polarization is the phenomenon where the light emitted by a fluorophore has unequal intensities along different axes of polarization. Early pioneers in the field include Aleksander Jablonski, Gregorio Weber,[1] and Andreas Albrecht.[2] The principles of fluorescence polarization and some applications of the method are presented in Lakowicz's book.[3]
