Luminescence from solids such as crystals and aggregates is of growing academic and industrial interest. In this study, we report decomposition of the unpolarized uorescence spectrum of uniaxially oriented 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (TPB) microcrystals into four polarized spectra measured with polarizer (V: vertical and H: horizontal) and analyser (V: vertical and H: horizontal), where V and H indicate perpendicular and parallel to the layer of TPB molecules in the crystal, respectively. Resolved spectra were interpreted in terms of the molecular and excimer like (J-and H-dimer) emissions. The origin of the excimer like emissions was discussed in relation to the molecular packing in the crystal. It was shown that polarized crystal uorescence can provide insight into the excitation/emission process in the crystal.Although preliminary, this study demonstrates the potential of polarized uorescence to elucidate the luminescent mechanism.
