11. We start with the infinitesimal contribution of a slice of the solution at position x along the emission axis inside the cuvette (the slice is perpendicular to the emission) Φ P L (x) = Φ P L 0 d x l 10 -ε x c where l is the side-length of the cuvette, ε is the molar extinction coefficient, and c is the molarity. By integrating and substituting the absorbance A = ε l c, we find eq 1.
