Figure 5

Schematic representation of the electronic (bold lines) and vibrational (light lines) energy levels within a fluorescent molecule. Nonradiative transitions such as vibrational relaxation are shown with wavy lines, while radiative transitions such as TPA and fluorescence are represented with straight arrows. There can also be a nonradiaive internal transition (not shown) of excited molecules down to the ground state.
