The term used when decay times
luminescence are measured using a pulsed source of
radiation. It is often necessary to separate the signal due to the light flash from
luminescence emission signal by a deconvolution technique in order to obtain the correct
decay curve for emission. Decay times corrected for this effect are termed corrected decay times of
fluorescence or
phosphorescence.
