  The interplay of migration, recombination, and dissociation of excitons in
disordered media is studied theoretically in the low temperature regime. An
exact expression for the photoluminescence spectrum is obtained. The theory is
applied to describe the electric field-induced photoluminescence-quenching
experiments by Kersting et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1440 (1994)] and Deussen
et al. [Synth. Met. 73, 123 (1995)] on conjugated polymer systems. Good
agreement with experiment is obtained using an on-chain dissociation mechanism,
which implies a separation of the electron-hole pair along the polymer chain.
