In diverse living tissues, prolonged biophoton lifetimes have been experimentally observed. In our presentation, we will introduce relaxation models incorporating radiant and subradiant states of molecules under conditions of intense collisions. We have demonstrated that collisions foster diffusion among subradiant collective states. The lifetimes derived from these models elucidate the exceptionally slow relaxation times observed experimentally in ultra-low radiation, commonly known as biophotons.
The study of relaxation of the ultra-weak radiation brings together biology, physics, and biophotonics, and offers insights into the fundamental processes underlying living organisms and their interactions with light.
