Abstract
In this paper the Fourier transform of the time-interval probability (FT-TIP) technique is applied to a fluorescence decay spectroscopy experiment in which a very small signal is detected. The lifetime of the <sup>4</sup><i>F</i><sub>9/2</sub> level of Er<sup>3+</sup> ions in an Er-doped glass is measured by the FT-TIP technique. It is concluded that this technique can be applied to lifetime measurement with small errors, in those experiments where standard techniques do not work well because of the small detected signal.
