17. 2, where n is the refractive index of the polymer. This is different from the efficiency measured with the sample in the integrating sphere, and much lower than that value (often referred to as external efficiency), because of the effect of the waveguided light.
18. A further, quantitative, discussion of the lifetime is not possible for space constraints and not particularly meaningful for these devices that are unoptimized in terms of the thickness.
