Differentiation of black writing ink on paper using luminescence lifetime by time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy.

Forensic science international

Suzuki M, Akiba N, Kurosawa K, Akao Y, Higashikawa Y.
PMID: 28938198
Forensic Sci Int. 2017 Oct;279:281-287. doi: 10.1016/j.forsciint.2017.09.003. Epub 2017 Sep 11.

The time-resolved luminescence spectra and the lifetimes of eighteen black writing inks were measured to differentiate pen ink on altered documents. The spectra and lifetimes depended on the samples. About half of the samples only exhibited short-lived luminescence components...
