K. Totsuka et al., Excitation-power-dependent spectral shift in photoluminescence in dye molecules in strongly scattering optical media, PHYS REV B, 59(1), 1999, pp. 50-53
Photoluminescence spectra and the reflectivity of incident light were exami
ned in dye molecules in strongly scattering media. With increasing incident
light intensity, the spectra show red- and blueshifts depending on the geo
metry of experiments, and the reflectivity increases nonlinearly. These exc
itation-power-dependent spectral shifts and nonlinear reflectivity are well
explained when we consider saturation absorption in the excitation process
and the reabsorption in the luminescence process in dyes. [S0163-1829(99)1
