Intra-shell d-d relaxation processes of Co2+-centres are investigated by means of time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The composition dependence of the luminescence and the decay of the Co L-line in ZnCdSe and ZnSSe alloys is presented for the first time. Additionally, new Co-related infrared luminescence lines were observed near 1.6 eV. Taking into account the energy position of the L-line and the relaxation dynamics of the green and the infrared luminescence, the L-line is explained as an internal doublet-quartet d-d transition of the Co-centres.
