Obtained if the
photon flux incident on the sample is held constant. If the solution is sufficiently dilute that the fraction of the exciting
radiation absorbed is proportional to the
absorption coefficient of the analyte, and if the
quantum yield is independent of the exciting
wavelength, the corrected
excitation spectrum will be identical in shape to the
absorption spectrum.
