Abstract
Theory of excitation energy transfer (EET) between donor and acceptor molec ules in the intermediate coupling case is constructed. This theory interpol ates theories of exciton and Forster mechanism. We also derived formulas of criterion among exciton, intermediate coupling and Forster mechanisms. The theory was applied to the light-harvesting system LH2 of photosynthetic ba cteria.
