Anyone who thinks that the difference between quantum efficiency and
energy transfer is a semantic one doesn't know what they are talking about.
To equate the two processes is sloppy thinking at best. It is a disservice
to the readers of this bulletin board to allow such information be posted
without a rebuttal.
Mario Roederer is correct in describing quantum efficiency as the number
of photons emitted divided by the number of photons absorbed. Since
energy transfer is a non-radiative process, quantum efficiency can NOT
be a measure of energy transfer.
Regarding the tone of some of the posts on this bulletin board, I rather
enjoy a heated debate as long as the facts are presented correctly.
