16. If PL is contributed by more than two species, the appearance of the isostilbic point is unlikely, because it would require that the area-normalized spectral profiles of all of the species intersect at a single point. See EPAPS Document No. E-PRLTAO-100-074804 for the detailed analysis of conditions required for the observation of the isostillbic point.
