The applications of Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) have expanded tremendously in the last 25 years, and the technique has become a staple technique in many biological and biophysical fields. Many publications appear weekly using FRET and most of the applications use FRET as a spectroscopic research tool. In this chapter, we have examined some general salient features of resonance energy transfer by stressing the kinetic competition of the FRET pathway with all other pathways of de-excitation. This approach emphasizes many of the biotechnological and biophysical uses of FRET, as well as emphasizing the important competing processes and biological functions of FRET in photosynthesis.
