We described results of the effect of annealing and irradiation treatments on the optical properties of Y_{3}Al_{5}O_{12}, YAlO_{3}, SrLaGa_{3}O_{7}, LiNbO_{3}, Gd_{3}Ga_{5}O_{12}, LaGaO_{3}, ZnSe, and LiF single crystals. Changes in absorption and luminescence are presented. Recharging processes of uncontrolled impurities (e.g. Fe^{3+}, Fe^{2+}, and Mn^{2+}), and active ions (e.g. Nd^{3+}, Dy^{3+}, Cr^{4+}, Cr^{3+}, and Ce^{3+}), as well as types of color centers produced in the crystals after a particular irradiation or annealing treatment are presented.
