A detailed theoretical and experimental study of the dependence of fluorescence correlation measurements on optical excitation power due to optical saturation effects is presented. It is shown that the sensitivity of a fluorescence correlation measurement on excitation power becomes increasingly stronger for decreasing excitation power. This makes exact measurements of diffusion coefficients with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy rather difficult. A strong difference of this behavior for continuous‐wave and pulsed excitation is found.
