Effects of the solvent refractive index and its dispersion on the radiative decay rate and extinction coefficient of a fluorescent solute

D Toptygin - Journal of Fluorescence, 2003 - Springer
It is well known that the probabilities of radiative transitions in a medium differ from those in
vacuum. Excitation of a fluorescent molecule and its radiative decay are examples of …
