Abstract

For the first time we studied the single-color centers in sodium fluoride crystals. The quantum intensity trajectories of three types of luminescence centers emitting in the visible region of the spectrum were observed; one of which is the F3+-center. The blinking of quantum trajectories is caused by transitions of the centers from the excited singlet state to the triplet state and, further, to the main singlet state. The average lifetime of the main triplet state for F3+-centers measured from observations of quantum trajectories of luminescence of single centers is 1.9 s, which coincides with the results of past measurements on the decay kinetics of triplet luminescence of ensemble of F3+-centers.
