How to Evaluate Singlet Life Time?

Singlet Life Time evaluator uses Singlet Life time = 1/(Rate Constant of Intersystem Crossing+Rate of Radiative Reaction+Rate of Internal Conversion+Quenching Constant) to evaluate the Singlet Life time, Singlet Life Time or commonly decay time is the time a fluorophore remains in its excited state after excitation and can vary from a few nanoseconds to subpicosecond. Singlet Life time is denoted by ζs symbol.
