FIGURE 5.

Contributions of the different spectral pools to the decay-associated spectra of all 96 lifetimes occurring in the simulation of Synechococcus elongatus, for excitation at 400 nm (A), 710 nm (B), and 719 nm (C). Pools: C680 (circles), C708/C702RT (squares), C719/C708RT (diamonds), P700 (plusses), and A₀ (crosses). Note the four distinct dominant lifetimes that occur, i.e., 37.5 ps, 10.9 ps, ∼3 ps, and <1.5 ps. The dashed vertical lines mark the lifetime intervals over which the DAS were summed to obtain the DAS in Fig. 6. For details see text.
