Abstract
In this paper are examined some characteristics of Delayed Luminescence in simple biological systems and in preparations of Cadmium Sulfide which are different only in the dimension of the grains in which the system is aggregated.
The hypothesis suggested is that the D.L. is not connected to the existence of specific fluorophores but to the presence of the band structure created by the short range order conditions present in the samples.
In these conditions the non-linear dependence of the DL on the light dose could reveal the presence of stimulated emissions in the course of this phenomenon.
