The spatial dynamics of variations in the intensity of the luminescence of quantum systems in crystals of the medium and highest categories of symmetry upon excitation with opposing optical pulses of an arbitrary shape is investigated by numerical simulation methods. It is established that the material dispersion, which is responsible for the dispersion spreading of pulses, has no effect on the shape and width of the envelope of the spatial distribution of the luminescence intensity, as well as on the depth of the luminescence intensity modulation associated with the interference of opposing pulses.

The study solves the problem of the luminescent photons propagation in a resonantly absorbing medium consisting of atoms of the studied substance and a buffer inert gas. The Monte Carlo method was used in numerical experiments carried out to simulate real processes that occur in a chamber designed to determine the lifetime of an individual atom in an excited state by the method of measuring the luminescence intensity decay time. Findings of the research show that when luminescent photons are repeatedly scattered (scattering means the process of absorption and re-emission of a photon by an atom) in a medium, the luminescence decay time noticeably increases, reaching a value greater than the average lifetime of an individual atom in an excited state. The reflection of photons from the walls that make up the chamber can lead to errors in measuring the lifetime. The process of luminescence decay is studied theoretically for various detunings of the laser frequency from the resonant transition frequency. A three-level model of the atom and a model of complete frequency redistribution were applied. The study describes an algorithm based on the Monte Carlo method, which is used to model the three-level population kinetics, laser radiation transfer, radiation trapping, and frequency redistribution
