Abstract
Spectral, kinetic and polarization characteristics of fluorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) of dye solid solutions have been investigated. It was shown that the increasing of the excitation pulse duration results in rise of TADF decay time, but an increasing of the long pulse excitation intensity results in a faster TADF decay. In the presence of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) the fluorescence spectrum is shifting non-monotonically with time when the intensity of the excitation pulse is high. At the time moment when the excitation is switched off the polarization degree of luminescence of the concentrated dye solutions strongly reduces. The energy transfer from the molecules in the S1 state to the molecules in the T1 state reduces the depolarization of luminescence caused by FRET. Numerical simulations were made by means of Monte-Carlo integrations and results were compared with experimental data obtained for acriflavine in polyvinyl alcohol films.
