Phosphorescence is a specific type of photoluminescence, related to fluorescence, however unlike fluorescence, a phosphorescent material does not immediately discharge the radiation it absorbs. The slower time scales of the re-emission of the radiation are associated with quantum mechanically forbidden energy state transitions.
In laymen's terms, phosphorescence is a process in which energy stored in a substance is released very slowly and continuously in the form of glowing light. The reason that the rate of energy release is so characteristically slow, and hence the light can glow for such a long time, is that on a microscopic level, the probability for the process of emitting light to occur is very low, almost being forbidden by quantum mechanics by using a "forbidden mechanism".
Most photoluminescent events, in which a chemical substrate absorbs and then re-emits a photon of light, are fast, on the order of 10 nanoseconds. However, for light to be absorbed and emitted at these fast time scales, the energy of the photons involved (i.e. the wavelength of the light) must be carefully tuned according to the rules of quantum mechanics to match the available energy states and allowed transitions of the substrate. In the special case of phosphorescence, the absorbed photon energy undergoes an unusual intersystem crossing into an energy state of higher spin multiplicity (see term symbol), usually a triplet state. As a result, the energy can become trapped in the triplet state with only quantum mechanically "forbidden" transitions available to return to the lower energy state. These transistions, although "forbidden", will still occur but are kinetically unfavored and thus progress at significantly slower time scales. Most phosphorescent compounds are still relatively fast emitters, with triplet lifetimes on the order of milliseconds. However, some compounds have triplet lifetimes up to minutes or even hours, allowing these substances to effectively store light energy in the form of very slowly degrading excited electron states. If the phosphorescent quantum yield is high, these substances will release significant amounts of light over long time scales, creating so-called "glow in the dark" materials.
