33. 3). The photon-weighted average describes the average PL lifetime of an ensemble of particles, weighted by each particle's PL quantum yield, that is, the average lifetime of the ensemble of photons. We use the former quantity because we are comparing the PL results to TA results which sample all of the particles.
