I have a set of time-resolved PL measurements, to which I applied an exponential fit to extract the effective decay time. I now want to determine the radiative and nonradiative rates involved in the decay.
Typically, these quantities are found by writing the kinetic equations for the steady-state, and integrating to find the analytic expression for the integrated intensity.
I can then use the experimental value of the steady-state intensity to determine the radiative and nonradiative rates, using the measured decay time.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the steady-state intensity (I only used picosecond-pulsed laser excitation in my experiments). So my question is: can I somehow determine the radiative and nonradiative lifetime without having to measure the steady-state intensity?
Any related references are highly appreciated.
