Preferred Label : lifetime;
Detailed label : lifetime of luminescence;
IUPAC definition : The time required for the luminescence intensity to decay from some initial value
to 1/e of that value (e 2.718 ...). Lifetimes can be measured by phase fluorimetry
(phosphorimetry) where the phase shift between the sinusoidally modulated exciting
light and the emitted light is measured.;
