The authors study the mechanisms of thermal extinction of the luminescence bands in cadmium selenide with lambda mad = 0.92 (band I) and 1.16 um (band II), for which the main photoluminescence centers are responsible. CdSe crystals grown from the gas phase and deliberately not doped were studied. The curves of the intensities of the bands I and II in the layers and single crystals are shown. A model is presented of the configurational coordinates for explaining the internal mechanism of extinction of impurity luminescence in crystal phosphors. A diagram is shown of the recombination transitions for wide-gap crystal phosphors with the anticipation of two luminescence centers and a nonradiative recombination center. This study proves that the corresponding luminescence centers in cadmium selenide single crystals and layers have the same physicochemical structure.
