✦ Synopsis

We investigate the fluctuations in the transition energy of a single molecule embedded in a solid. We propose a model based on spatially distributed two-level systems with internal dynamics which induce the fluctuations due to long-range interactions with the single molecule. We show that the transition energies follow a spectral random walk which can be analyzed in terms of random walk theories. The corresponding spectral propagator is derived and its relationship to stable distributions is established. For the particular case of dipole interactions in a three-dimensional system the Cauchy distribution is recovered.

Using a setup based on fluorescence microscopy we study fluorescence spectra of single chromophores. Being point like emission sources single molecules can be focused to the entrance slit of a spectrometer. Even with narrow slit width the light passes the system with almost no loss.

Following pulsed irradiation of disordered solids, optical absorption of trapped electrons decays in the far red and increases in the visible. The random-walk model of Scher and Control, quantitatively apphcable to electron mobility by timeof-flight, supports hopping to successively deeper traps. Ba
