Single crystals of Yb-doped LiCaAlF₆ were grown by the Czochralski teschnique under CF₄ atmosphere. Photoluminescence and decay kinetics of Yb²⁺ center in the LiCaAlF₆ single crystal is described in 4-300 K. Phenomenological two excited-state-level model is introduced to obtain quantitative characteristics of the excited state dynamics of Yb²⁺ emission center.
