The objective of this thesis is to measure the fluorescence, scattering and absorption properties of different organic and inorganic nanomaterials. In organic materials, we measured the spectra of red and green fluorescent proteins during the temperature range between -20℃and 0℃.We found that the spectra of red fluorescent proteins possess the phenomena of blue shifts when the temperature decreases, while the spectral intensity of green fluorescent protein decreases when the temperature decreases. In inorganic materials, we measured the intensities of light scattered by PMMA particles of 200 nm diameter with different angle. We estimated the particle size based on the Mie scattering theory. Furthermore, we also measured the variation of absorbed spectra of gold nanoparticals in real time as well as the pH value of the environment changed.
