Spectra of x-ray radiation-induced absorption of SrCl2–Ce crystals in the region of 340-830 nm under the effect of selective irradiation in the induced-absorption bands by both conventional and laser sources are investigated. It is established that irradiation of sufficient intensity causes irreversible photochemical transformations of PC, PC+, and Ce2+ color centers, their destruction, and restoration of the transparency of the crystals.
