T1 - Optimization of the coupling of target recognition and signal generation T2 - Advanced fluorescence reporters in chemistry and biology II: Molecular constructions, polymers and nanoparticles N2 - Fluorescent reporters that literally "light up" upon binding of a target species are particularly interesting from an analytical point of view. This contribution introduces the main signaling concepts in fluorescent probe research, discusses strategies toward their optimization in terms of signal output, and highlights the wealth of alternative protocols that has been realized in the past two decades to create signaling systems with luminescence amplification features.
