Abstract
A new method of determining the diffusion characteristics of quantum systems in crystals is investigated in the present paper on the example of color centers. The method is based on a spatially selective photochemical crystal transformation upon exposure to optical radiation pulses. The principal feasibility of implementation of this method for the determination of the diffusion coefficient of color centers based on the observed dynamics of spatially modulated distribution of their concentrations induced by optical radiation with femtosecond coherence is demonstrated.
