Popis: The turn-off fluorescent photoswitches for information encryption are constantly being developed. However, there are no reports about time-switchable (fluorescence lifetime-switchable) encryption to overcome the limitations of tunable encoding numbers in spectrally and temporally encoded libraries. Based on the double-exponential fitting of fluorescence lifetime, we propose, a fatigue-free and highly flexible switch between the amplitude-weighted average fluorescence lifetime (τm) and the intensity-weighted average fluorescence lifetime (τi), which will realize the supermultiplexed fluorescence lifetime switchable encryption. The potentially enormous library of different fluorescent lifetime combinations would facilitate the development of information security.
