The photoluminescence and Raman scattering of undoped {gamma}-Ln{sub 2}S{sub 3} single crystals (Ln is a rare earth ion) and the decay kinetics of the {sup 4}F{sub 3/2} level of Nd ions in these crystals have been investigated. The distortion of the decay curve of the Nd {sup 4}F{sub 3/2} level upon excitation by light with {lambda} = 0.53 {mu}m is explained.
