The kinetics of the diffusion-controlled triplet-triplet annihilation of anthracene was investigated with the time-resolved laser spectroscopy. The analysis of the decays of delayed fluorescence with the standard Smoluchowski model leads to an artificial dependence of the annihilation radius from the delay (starting point of evaluation). The intuitive-empirical modification of the so-called short-time term in Smoluchowski equation (based on the treatment of the triplet-triplet annihilation as a non-Fickian diffusion) is proposed. A brief comparison is presented between standard Smoluchowski and modified models for anthracene. The limits of the approximation used are discussed and the way of further progress is suggested.
