The luminescent Z-scan technique with time resolution is applied to the study of the luminescence properties of CH3NH3PbBr3 single crystals representative of the family of hybrid organic–inorganic lead perovskites successfully applied recently in photovoltaics and currently investigated as potential nanosecond scintillators. The third harmonic of Ti-sapphire laser (λ = 266 nm) with a pulse duration of 26 fs and 1 kHz frequency was applied for the luminescence excitation creating the charge carriers with the estimated density from 1017 to 1021 cm−3 in the temperature range from 13 to 300 K. Temperature and excitation density dependence of the luminescence yield and kinetics is interpreted with the consideration of the temperature-dependent binding of electrons and holes into excitons, a saturation of defects responsible for the non-radiative relaxation channel competing with exciton creation; absorption saturation resulting in the increased penetration depth of the excitation radiation and hence the increased contribution of the re-absorption.
