17. The third harmonic (355 nm) of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (Continuum) was used as the laser source. The pulse from the laser (∼8 mm diameter) was expanded and then collimated through two lenses, and passed through a square aperture (10 mm x 10 mm) immediately before entering the sample which was held in a thermostated cell holder. The samples were degassed by at least four freeze-pump-thaw cycles, and approximately 1.0 mL was placed in sealed quartz cuvettes (10 mm x 10 mm). A Perkin-Elmer LS-5 fluorimeter fitted with fiber optic light guides collected the time-resolved fluorescence. The laser, fluorimeter excitation and emission beams were orthogonal to each other. The average laser power was measured behind the sample holder (without the cell in position) with the laser pulsing at 10 Hz with the energy per pulse being calculated by dividing the average power by the repetition rate.
