Abstract
In case of strongly first-order phase transitions, in which large disp lacements of the molecules are involved, the lifetime of the fluoresce nce excited by a pico-second laser was found to decrease sharply on ap proaching the transition temperature T-0. The lifetime shortening is a ttributed to the fluctuation increase towards the stability Limits of the low temperature phase.
