The mechanisms of noncoherent photon upconversion that involve triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) in solution have been investigated for two model systems. ZnTPP (meso-tetraphenylporphine zinc) is used as the model visible light-absorbing metalloporphyrin because its S(1) fluorescence intensity can be used to monitor…
