25. In contrast to low-excitation cw measurements, where a slight reduction in PL intensity from 4 K to room temperature by a factor 3 was found (Ref.), pulsed excitation with a low-average power results in an almost complete saturation of nonradiative channels even at room temperature, as confirmed by power dependent studies (not shown here).
