Optical decay is process of relaxation of excitation of an excited quantum system, usually due to the spontaneous emission of a photon or a phonon.Optical decay is dominant mechanism of quenching of excitation of active optical media. In solid-state lasers the optical decay limits the storage of energyin active medium. Also, the term optical decay is used to the effect of quick reduction of luminosity of astrophysical objects
