Abstract: The article deals with the fluorescence of several noninteracting molecules. It is supposed that they are excited by CW laser radiation. The three-level model describing blinking fluorescence of single molecules is considered along with the two-level one. Theoretical equations for the photon number distribution of a molecular complex are derived from the earlier deduced equations for the photon distribution of a single molecule.

Keywords: single molecules, fluorescence photon number distribution.
