Abstract: Frequency upconversion fluorescence spectroscopy can be widely used to study biological macromolecules’ structures and dynamics which may be linked to their functions. With the developments of ultrafast laser technology and the updates of related optoelectronic devices, the presence of femtosecond laser especially makes the time resolution of frequency upconversion down to femtosecond, which provides new opportunities to the studies in biology, chemistry and medicine science. In this paper, the basic principle of upconversion technique is briefly reviewed. On the basis of a self-constructed femtosecond upconversion fluorescence spectroscopy experimental system, the key design features of the total system are discussed. Finally, a few applications of the upconversion technique in life science, especially the fluorescence dynamics of proteins and DNA, are demonstrated.
