Absorption and Emission Spectra with Gaussian 16

In photosynthesis research, emission spectra—particularly chlorophyll fluorescence—are not merely complementary to absorption measurements but are often more informative. While absorption spectra indicate which wavelengths are harvested, emission spectra reveal the fate of that energy, providing direct insight into its partitioning between photochemistry, heat dissipation, and fluorescence. In this way, they serve as sensitive probes of energy transfer efficiency among pigments and of the...
