(color online) Configurations of the energy levels and transitions are shown when the donor is coupled to a vibrational mode. The red (dashed) arrow lines represent the original detuned energy transfer process, which hardly succeed due to the mismatched energy levels. The blue (solid) arrow lines show the phonon-assisted energy transfer process.
