Increase of activation energy for nonradiative deactivation of excited-centres luminescence decay can be achieved by changing the host crystal or by electron traps.
Bombarding this phosphor with photons of energy higher than that of infrared photons but not sufficient for excitation can lead to photoquenching: the traps are emptied far more rapidly, and thermal deactivation of the centres is enhanced.
In chemiluminescence, such as the oxidation of luminol, light emission depends not only on radiative and quenching or intramolecular deactivation processes but also on the efficiency of the chemical reaction leading to molecules in an electronically excited state.
When excited atoms of the centres are in contact with other atoms, as is the case in condensed phases (liquids, solids, in gases of not-too-low pressure), part of the excitation energy will be transformed into heat by collisional deactivation (thermal quenching).
