Using free electron laser excitation in the XUV range, CaWO4 samples were exposed to ultra-short, intense photon pulses (photon energy 89.84 eV, 10 muJ average pulse energy, 25 fs pulse length), and their luminescence was studied with time-resolved spectroscopy. In the decay curves measured in the temperature range 8-300 K, a non-exponential emission decay with shortening of the life times over the first few mus is observed, which depends on the excitation density. Using a model for dipole--dipole interaction of excitons under non-uniform excitation densities, the structure of the decay curves can be reproduced in good agreement with the experimental data, and parameters for the initial exciton interaction can be calculated.
