WHAT DOES PHOTOLUMINESCENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Photoluminescence

Photoluminescence is light emission from any form of matter after the absorption of photons. It is one of many forms of luminescence and is initiated by photoexcitation, hence the prefix photo-. The excitation typically undergoes various relaxation processes and then photons are re-radiated. The period between absorption and emission can be extremely short: it ranges from the femtosecond-regime for the emission from, e.g., free-carrier plasma in inorganic semiconductors up to milliseconds for phosphorescent processes in molecular systems; however, it can also be extended into minutes or hours under special circumstances. The observation of photoluminescence at a certain energy can be seen most-straightforwardly as indication of population of the state associated with this transition energy. While this is generally true in atoms and similar systems, correlations and other more complex phenomena also act as sources for photoluminescence in many-body systems such as semiconductors. A theoretical approach to handle this is given by the semiconductor luminescence equations.

Definition of photoluminescent in the English dictionary

The definition of photoluminescent in the dictionary is relating to or characterized by luminescence resulting from the absorption of light or infrared or ultraviolet radiation.
