The stimulated emission spectrum was obtained by use of the Füchtbauer-Ladenburg formula (Ref.) e (λ) = (λ4 8π c n2 τf) E (λ), where τf is the fluorescent lifetime, c is the speed of light, and n is the refractive index of the medium. The lineshape function E (λ) is normalized so that 0∞ E (λ) dλ=φ, where φ is the photoluminescence quantum yield. φ is given by τf τrad. Here τrad is the radiative lifetime and was determined to be 6.6 ns from the absorption spectrum by use of the Strickler-Berg formula (Ref.). The fluorescence lifetime τf was measured to be 1.4 ns, thus giving a quantum yield of 0.21 for LDS821 in a PVP matrix.
