Photon arrival times are analyzed in terms of inter-photon time distribution, second-order correlation function, and Mandel's Q-function. Nonclassical photon statistics is observed and a reverse intersystem crossing is detected that accelerates linearly with the applied laser power. Rate equations for the time evolution of the molecular level populations are shown to be appropriate for the analysis of the observations.
