Stepanov (1957a, Soviet Physics-Doklady 2:81-84) obtained an equation which relates the absorption spectrum and the fluorescence emission spectrum of a single dye molecule. Here, a similar equation is derived for a cluster of interacting pigments, e.g. the antenna pigments of a photosystem. This rel
