Optical decay refers to the process in which the intensity of light emitted by a material decreases over time. This phenomenon can occur in various contexts, including: 1. **Fluorescent Materials**: In fluorescent materials, after the excitation source (like UV light) is turned off, the emitted light gradually diminishes. This is often characterized by an exponential decay in intensity, which can be described by a decay time constant.
