radiative lifetime, τ0

Also contains definition of: natural lifetime
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.R05064
Lifetime
of an excited molecular entity in the absence of radiationless transitions. The reciprocal of the first-order
rate constant
for the radiative step, or the reciprocal of the sum of these rate constants if there is more than one such step. The equivalent term, natural lifetime, is discouraged.
Notes:
  1. Approximate expressions exist relating τ0 to the
    oscillator strength
    of the emitting transition.
  2. The subscript 0 is used in this definition, whereas the superscript 0 is used to indicate a non-quenched
    lifetime
    in the Stern-Volmer kinetic relationships.
