25. There are intramolecular T-T annihilation and intermolecular T-T annihilation pathways. In Figure 3, the fast decay component within 500 ns corresponds to the intramolecular T-T annihilation, and the slow decay component after 1 μs corresponds to the intermolecular T-T annihilation. The ratio of the intramolecular T-T annihilation to the intermolecular T-T annihilation significantly depends on the excitation laser power. The ratio of the fast decay component to the slow decay component increases with increasing laser power.
