Re: [Phys-L] Reference for Fluorescence Spectra

Zeke,
I am not convinced that this pdf meets your needs. It does include some 
glucose spectra excited by UV, it's true. You may not have seen it. It 
is six weeks old.

Figure s-11 shows the emission spectrum of carbon dots [aka graphene 
quantum dots] made from glucose. [this seems like a stretch for your need]

I found the wikipedia article somewhat helpful for describing the 
several fluorescence mechanisms available in glucose solutions.
